A tragedy of the world and passage of time of things that disappear from memory, a pain i can not fathom. The ones that die raging in the night, that are unspoken for or unheard. The language of a people, no longer spoken. The traditions of a nation, no longer practiced. The culture of a family, erased by time. Things that have been eradicated beyond life and can never be reborn. Things once so precious that are almost entirely gone from the world. How do you reconcile the genocide of a culture?

Long and Lost
