2020 Memorandum

After all is said and done What do we leave our children A foundation of a proper life And a soul that understands That all people are different And all have a right to live in peace What stories do we leave the world Of peace and happiness for all Where the facts are listened to And people will have All they need to live properly In stories will be told around their fires Who are the people who deserve to be remembered Not the villains the thieves the assailants the murderers But the ones who work and live clean together They should be the T shirt faces And the ones who are on the murals Looking back at all of us So what about 2020 the virus and the riots I will remember those who stood up and were counted when needed. © Paul Warren Poetry
