The Poster


"Learn from the past,

Live in the present,

Plan for the future"

These were the words 

On the lintel of English class

I read them everyday.

But,

How can I learn fro the past 

when I have no past

How can I live in the present

when I am unknown

How can I plan for the future

when there is nothing to plan for

But still, I read them everyday,

Hoping, desperately for something unknown.
