Lest We Forget

Lest we forget war

Lest we forget peace

There is grief in dislocation

And now I must move on

Keep beetling along

But what if I stood my ground?

Or just sat here a while longer

Can I rage against losing it all

Rage, rage

For smiles and silly things  

I’ll rage

For continued conversations

Good mornings

Goodnights

I’ll rage

For snow and sun and prayers

I’ll rage

Finally, I am a sum of my memories

And so I rage

As I refuse to forget
