We Who Remember
We, the People, we who remember.
We are the pushed, the shaken and the torn.
The good are taken from us,
some taken to lead, some to do our bidding,
some to succeed, some to die.
We, the People, we who remember.
We are the hard working and the builders,
the unspoken, the wholehearted.
We, the tolerant, the patient,
the taken advantage of.
Quiet with ideals too deep to express,
We, the People, we who remember
the good of every man,
of every good cause, of every dream.
We, the Children of the Mother of Exiles,
the mother who stands with silent lips.
DSS.
