Remember

Remember
The ones that died
Giving the ultimate sacrifice
For what they loved and believed in
Remember

Remember
The ones that lived
Broken and scarred, carrying
Memories none should have to endure
Remember

Remember
The innocents, whose
Only crime was that they existed
In the wrong place at the wrong time
Remember

Remember
Our broken world
Where the real forces of evil
Are not at the other end of our guns
Remember

Remember
Our own hearts
So often driven by greed and fear
Each moment a chance to instead choose peace
Remember
