It is all too heavy today.

But looking away would mean

we’ve forgotten.

And we can’t

we won’t

ever forget the day everything changed.

But wouldn’t we love to put it back?

The same as it was

before that day?

No, we can’t look away

and we can’t get away

from the pain

that came, brought by hate

flown in with rage,

so we’ll stay

remain

and remember,

cry because it will never be the same

and tell our kids, and those not yet born,

stay.

Don’t hate.

Don’t rage.

Sit with it and don’t forget.

And don’t ever look away.

No day shall erase you from the memory of time.
