Who Knocks Anymore?

I think that with the advancement of technology

We are moving forward

We have more ways to communicate

More ways to connect

We even have doorbells to replace knocking

How simple is life nowadays?

It seems all too often that even though we are moving forward

The only thing that knocks anymore is the past

And when it comes, things get complicated don't they?

Out with the old and in with the new I say

But still it knocks hoping to stay a while and catch up

The last thing I should do is exactly that

Don't give me your coat or ask me where to hang your hat because

You're leaving through the same way you just entered

I'm a different person these days

You may even say new altogether

It was silly of me to even answer the door right?

I mean, who knocks anymore?
Next time I will know better

Because I'm moving forward

The past isn't going anywhere

But I am,

Here in the present

And looking towards a brighter future
