a lament

title should say it

I bring solace to the damned
Comfort to the weak and weary
Love to the sad and lonely
Relief to those who are old and in pain
Freedom to those who are incarcerated
Good news to those who have no hope
I bring good to a harsh and evil world
And yet I feel nothing for my own
I am the softer kind of evil
The foster son of the only devil
I am Memory and so I remain
True of heart and without personal gain.
