I was always told
As a bold little girl
"Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it"
I understand that now
As I see the articles
I find it devastatingly remarkable
How men and women
Tear down
These once praises monuments
Of these defenders
Who the world once seemed to remember
To have been deemed important
These once shiny and new
Pieces of treasure
Are now forgotten pleasures
These once important
Historical figures
Are being forgotten
Because of this rotten
Young generation
That let slip who got them here
They will disappear
Just like a hot adrenaline rush
They forgot that these monstrous men
Are the reasons we live in such a land
They choose to forget
Instead of bearing
This heavy weight
of disseminate knowledge
They will not remember
How these heroic members
Now burnt to embers
Who fought for this land
When we knew nothing
But how to be mad
They will be doomed to repeat
The suffering heat
Of every faulty error
Once endured by all this terror
Children in 50 years
Will not remember
Because it offended someone
ITS SUPPOSE TO OFFEND YOU
For if you're offended
Then you understood it
If you are offended then you will not repeat it
History is not there for us to love or hate
It is there
For our young minds
To learn from
For if we knew
What went wrong
We will know how to do it right
And how to be strong
We learn from history
And I am terrified
That one day
All too soon
No one will
Remember
The good
The awful
And the mess inbetween
