We forget too soon <br />The pain of wet floors <br />The hand that tilled the soil <br />The anguish of a falling hope <br />The division and separation <br />The segregation and discrimination <br />We forget too soon <br />The hate of the Master <br />As he refused to use the same toilet <br />We forget those that died <br />We forget the tears and the blood <br />We forget the working mothers <br />We forget the lost sons <br />Everything is merry and dandy <br />And there is the Master again <br />Everybody claims their cause <br />Be that of God's <br />It is not of our culture <br />Let us roast them in hell <br />We forget history <br />As we re-live it again<br /><br />Kafayat Quadri<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-forget-too-soon/
