CLEANSING TIME
Don’t worry about it.
Time washes clean the memory of all mistakes.
The first to go are the smallest.
The mistaken name of a casual friend.
The purging takes longer for bigger blunders.
A sleepy or drunken driver swerving into a semi.
The greatest mistakes may take centuries to obliterate.
A war to prevent Communism in Vietnam.
Eventually time will wipe clean all memory from
This planet, like Billions of others, spins around its star.
With enough time even this rock, once known as Mother Earth,
Will be engulfed by its dying star, once known as the eternal sun.
