bodies fall into graves in numbers
but they are not
numbers
but humans . . . lest we forget
those, who felt, who loved
who dreamed, who dared
who died
who live on . . lest we forget
it is my brother
your mother
his son and her lover
it is each and every one of us
for we all are one . . . lest we forget
though the cold will come soon enough
would that i could
light a candle for all who must walk this pa**
it would light the seas
and heal our souls on waves of warmth
that we may never turn our backs again
that we would never again forget
i, i will never forget
