As the last of the living die
Important now, than ever, to remember their story
To head their warning.
When tomorrow veers its head
And we mistake a put down
To a popularised form of politic
Let’s not forget their warning.
Let’s not forget mankind’s ability
To watch idly by - even contribute -
To what the victors later call atrocities
Only when they see victory
So let’s not let victory be the hand
That shows today’s atrocities.
Don’t be idle.
See, speak, hear - let evil wash over you
So that you see it for what it’s worth.
Head the warnings of the last of the living
Before they die.
