I slept in a memory of pride for a friend sleeping stronger than me, in a dream of a home where he slept next to lovers in peace. And I slept in a memory of guilt for the worries that keep me awake, in a fragment of earth that I spent twenty years trying to shake. Out west there's a stone and a flower in memory of things turned to dust - a song sung to wolves while they fed on a book full of rust. In time we'll be written in history as barbaric, short sighted, and slow. To use common sense with the purpose to flourish and grow. Oh, how we love what we know. (H. Mendell)
