When We Forget

*For all those moments when we forget what actually upset us


A ticking clock that tracks the time

Retelling grief, enlarging lies

As light does slip far from your eyes

You soon forget the details



The blood and tears do constant fall

A forlorn home with frozen walls

The fractured knees will not stand tall

The facts precede the entrails



What were the words that you did hear?

Who had the tongue that pierced the ear?

A fragile soul gives in to fear

Constant thought corruption



Misunderstanding escalades

No attempts for peace are made

Tranquility succumbed to raid

A fragile mind erupted





Recounting stories, one will see

The factors change realities

What truly happened cannot be

A fight without a reason



Emotions blown and thoughts reborn

The faultless mind, in two, is torn

The innocent is brought to mourn

Every change of season



Before you act, investigate

And then choose which side you will take

A leafless yard does need no rake

Let wisdom have his vote



Two sides will speak mere hints of truth

Telling tales full of abuse

Like seeds a lie will take its roots

A bridge over a moat
