Will You Forget?
By D. E. Lee
Copyright (c), 1998
Do you know who you are,
and from whence you came?
Do you know where you’re going,
or to you, is it all the same?
Do you know your father,
and his father before him?
Will you know your son,
or are we just here by whim?
The opportunities you were given,
by those that went before,
Will you pass them to your children,
and give them even more?
What will you learn,
from your father’s fathers, son?
Will you just forget,
all that they have done?
And so forgetting,
break the binding glue,
And worse than that,
forget your identity too.
