I am the Past and Experience is the only rudder I can offer you
As you steer your course through the rocky shoals of your future
You are the Present a brash, yet flimsy Skiff bent on self destruction
And thus, it ever was that Past spoke vainly to Present, who rushed impatiently to its fate

Very true words. We push ahead in misguided haste when if we had just looked around us there are hundreds of maps we could have followed and saved ourselves a lot of misgivings.
