We, them, all things, and beings will never forget
It will remain as an engraved black day in human history for ever
Its memory will always be in the depth of the brains of
every Arab
every merchant of death selling the chemical ingredients
every Monstrous warmonger politician that
their conscience vain has been surgically
removed from their scummy self that
was
will be or
will not be as who they are
will be or will not be and
in the minds of all future generations that
will read or
will not read history
but it will be remembered
from her own remembrance "living"
in the atmosphere of all of planet earth and
even the stars and
the sun
in their unseen molecule amasses
like the never scattering clouds
like the blue sky above
like appearing and disappearing moon
like the wind with a loud screaming sound in the middle
of no where
like a baby's cry that never stops
like ten thousand mothers crying out
"ax rola gyan
wey rola gyan
bo chi roishty
bo chi nagari bo malo
ax rola gyan
bawanem
ax rola gyan"
filling our ears for ever
we shall remember
for we shall always die a little when we remember
that giant black day engraved in history and
in all minds for ever.
