The Universe is Starving to Remember
This is for you,
This is for the universe
To remember
To remember what it's like to listen to the crazed baseball games over the radio.
To remember what songs sounded like when they actually meant something.
To remember walking the long and dusty old dirt path miles home from school because the broken down school bus was too crowded and hot.
To remember hard work and respect.
This is here for you to remember
But we are starving the universe of memory
And we are beginning to forget
This is for you
This is for the universe
To please remember
This poem is about:
My community
My country
Our world
