Historical Amnesia

You look in the attic
For the things that were lost and forgotten
Mementos of the past
Swept in the dustbin of history

Toy soldiers falling one by one
Memories exploding apart
Bodies mired in the sand

A child’s play for one
Terror and suffering
plague the whole mankind

Lest we forget,
The lessons of the past
And be eternally damned.
