| 568. The Memory A simple matter is what it is called No pain would be felt to correct the blame Decisions to be made by those not capable Lives turned upside down are never the same Guilt and remorse dig deep in the soul Right or wrong a moral dilemma for all The thought of a future encumbered by shame Misplaced ideals forgotten when wisdom does fall A voice never to be heard or admired Blond trusses on portraits will never show Potential encased in an uncharted tomorrow What could have beens we’ll never know Too late salvation with the flip of a switch God’s children cast adrift on clouds of gas Reality strikes when the deed is finished The memory of brutality will never pass |
