Never Forget

[skysailor]

Never forget, they say,
As they take her away,
Forcing their touch
“It’s not too much
To make sure we’re all safe.”

Never forget, they say,
As they take him away,
“We’re sure he knows something,”
But they kill him for nothing.
He dies alone in the cold.

Never forget, they say,
As they take truth away,
And lie to our faces
So they can rack up their cases
“You see, we’re doing so well.”

Never forget, they say,
As they take faith away,
In the mosques are spies
Gathering like flies
Faith has marked you a target.

Never forget, they say,
As they take words away,
Storing up every letter
Saying it’s for the better
“Only guilty need privacy.”

Never forget, they say,
But I hope one day
We take off our bonds
And with freedom abscond
And forget this long tragedy.
