The Forgotten

When there's no-one left in this living world to remember you, you disappear into the world of the non living You become part of that which is not extinct but no longer living no longer a memory No place in the future no longer in the present and no longer a part of the past How can you remain relevant when at some point in time we will all be forgotten That time will come when we will all become just a memory and then a forgotten memory And then what No one can live forever In fact not even someone's memories can live forever Even the most famous, one day will be forgotten Will become nothing but a has been or a used to be They say memories never die but how many memories can we remember How many memories can we store in our minds Do the old ones get replaced by the new Do we pile them up by date by titles by significance When the time comes and we start forgetting and replacing special unforgettable moments Then we too might realise that we may have been forgotten
