NEVER FORGET

NEVER FORGET

 

A monolith stands alone.

It wasn’t always here.

Though many think it was.

 

NEVER FORGET

 

Something happened.

Before it was built.

There was blood.

And tears.

Not just lives

Were lost.

 

NEVER FORGET

 

A fate worse than death.

It must not happen again.

The blood.

The fear.

The end.

 

NEVER FORGET

 

They wanted to remember forever.

They built a monolith.

Stone.

They inscribed upon it.

 

NEVER FORGET

 

But eventually they left.

Or died.

No one remained.

Except the monolith.

 

NEVER FORGET

 

So now new children,

Play at its base.

People read the words.

They stare.

Blank.

 

no one remembers.

Author's Note

It's a poem. I don't know, I never write poetry. Here goes.
Also I still need to edit the novella. Working on it.
Ugh, school.
