inspired by
Gina McIntosh
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?
