Like an Okinawan girl <br />Given to hungry men <br />The memory of Japan <br />Has left the human world <br /> <br />Like a unbaby born <br />In the unrising sun <br />The memory of Japan <br />Is even beneath scorn <br /> <br />Like a subjugated people <br />Tattered & devoured <br />The memory of Japan <br />Exist only to the evil <br /> <br />Like a wasteland of the dead <br />Where life is ever laughing <br />The memory of Japan <br />Fades unseen & unsaid <br /> <br />Like a people cooked as stew <br />Not even to be consumed <br />The memory of Japan <br />Is all but almost through <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />19AtGs4YKRU6Mk1gmhjiXEW26b1zVyVS9U<br /><br />Tim caffery<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-memory-of-japan/
