Notes About The Poem
a politician talking while actually saying absolutely nothing

And If Elected

Ladies and gentlemen; in this 
time of political upheaval and 
uncertainty, we must never 
forget those things which seem 
to be forgotten. Those things 
that only we can remember. 
The things that our forefathers 
remembered, and never forgot. 
Remembering what it took to 
never forget, and not forgetting 
the thoughts that no one 
seems to remember anymore. 
Keeping in mind the main thing 
that slips from others 
memories, and not forgetting 
all those forgotten things that 
everyone else seems to forget 
about. We must hold dear the 
cherished memories that the 
masses cant remember, and 
remain steadfast in 
remembering our ancestors 
forgotten mindsets that will 
always remind us to never 
forget. And in closing I would 
like to say that I hope that I 
will never fail to remember the 
forgotten thought that brought 
me to this conclusion. If we as 
a people fail to remember what 
no one ever thought of, our 
future generations will never 
know what we didn’t think of.
