Tell the generations… Never to silence the atrocities of the past And to remember yesterday’s sins Just like they were tomorrows Tell the generations… Keep your dreams alive by Inspiring each other and including all People, for hopeful solutions and making A way for the joy, the blessing, the praise The wonderstruck moments brought to life and never to wipe away the dark shadows, the disquiet of yesterday Teach the next generations… Of the history that hasn’t been taught And to remember the past, the pain, the previous Distrust, despair, darkness, brought onto others So that it is never forgotten, these burning flames who Consume the uncertainty and the lies of the day tearing the heart apart Tell yourself, reassure yourself, that it has all been worth it! Has it?

Milton, it means a lot to me to get the message out there and at the same time read others, "People of Ar" who do deserve great honors! Poems possess special powers of imagination or expression and will live on forever! Thanks Milt;)
