A forgotten
Yesterday was
Brought forth today.
For that, I must
Thank you.
Without you
To careen me
Into forgotten
Yesterdays
Where would I be?
Through the darkness
Of a basement wall,
In soot and dirt
Out she climbed.
Unaware
Frightened,
With her keeper
Nearby.
Hands up,
Or you die.
Round up
Of the meek,
Blind justice
For the strong.
Don’t you worry.
I will
Fix this.
Rest now,
Precious sister,
Rest.
While I sing
To you this sweet
Lullaby.
