The solemnity of this day
has left the minds of those
who have not experienced
the tragedies perpetrated
against the people.
Our minds are full of
the latest episodes of
favorite TV shows
rather than on the world
and its suffering masses.
God is not remembered,
loss is forgotten,
sacrifice has been ignored.
If we don’t right our ship,
stand tall and proud,
righteous in our morality,
just in our causes,
we will cease to matter
and fade into the dustbin
of history.
