My sons and daughters

Why remain disconnected?

We have been waiting.

Holocaust

Come let us reason.

Everyone else remembers.

We forget our own.

In the West Indies,

The truth is sweet like sugar

Here, soft as cotton.

Hell

Told... and accepted.

Keepers

Keepers of the flame

Torch within non-consuming

Keepers of The Way.

There was still "before"
