A Nation Without Memory

a nation without memory
a citizen without memory
a leader without memory
a believer without memory
a fanatic without memory
passes mother’s grave unaware
misfortune will follow everywhere
along the highway of life
only the rattles of mother’s bones
lying in state without peace
can hold his legs of mishaps to halt

A nation without memory
licks the feet of misfotunes
