Lest We Forget

Lest we forget Those who were blinded So that we may see Lest we forget Those who were deafened So that we may hear Lest we forget Those who were silenced So that we may speak Lest we forget Those who lost their taste for killing So that we may all taste living Through art We shed tears For your blindness Through music We mourn Your deafness Through poetry Tears falling For your silence Through our love Heart-felt tears For your dying Heart-felt thanks For this gift Of seeing Heart-felt thanks For this gift Of hearing Heart-felt thanks For this gift Of speaking And most of all Heart-felt thanks For this gift Of living
