Remember When We Had Amnesia

Remember when Sickness wasn't there? Corruption was a myth? Racism a joke? Death nonexistent? Lies went unspoken? Sadness was an unreality? And Depression a Delusion? 

We Forgot the time when black nor white was a Thing. When health was a Norm. When purity a Virtue. And life a Value. When we Knew Not of sin. And sought to speak Truth.
When every breathe of air had a Meaning. 

When Happiness was a Right. 

We all have Amnesia. And like it, there is a cure.
