Gaza 2014

Someone asked me once if i remembered how it all went down
as if it happened long ago that anyone would forget

so yeah i remember

i remember when their homes and towns became their graveyards
when the tunnels became our only survival

i remember when the bombs fell out of the skys
when the cars stopped running when the electricity shut down and the world went into darkness

i remember when they put up the razor wire and the Israel defence force ran out body bags for the children their bombs killed

some of us sort of lost our minds
some lost more than that
much more

so yeah i remember
but now i don't give a damn about any of that

you know what i remember most
riding the open road the smell of your hair the touch of your skin

i remember you
but those days are gone now
im a drifter and for me the broken road is all thats left
but I'll always remember

Two years ago but will never be forgotten,
Is a beautiful vow to that friend. I sincerely appreciate your honoring others' losses too in your poem about being heartbroken.
