Remember

You can’t expect things now to last
if you cannot recall the past
of rise and fall
of good and bad
the great and small
of all you had...
Remember...

The exodus from Egypt
the campus at Kent State
The Magna Carta
Troy and Sparta
and the beaches on D-Day

The Black Death and Black Friday
the death camp at Auschwitz
Kristallnacht
Anwar Sadat
Hastings ten sixty-six

An empty promise lives and breathes
outside a place in history
of Kings and Czars
of wrongs and rights
lay down your arms
rise up and fight...
Remember...

There’s Lexington and Concord
the death march on Bataan
Emancipation
Proclamation
Vandals Vikings Genghis Khan

You can’t expect things now to last
if you cannot recall the past
of rise and fall
of good and bad
the great and small
of all you had...
Remember
