Remember what they took from you

and burn and make the love anew

By A. S. LawrencePublished about 7 hours ago 1 min read

Remember what they took from you,

The time and love and healthy kid,

And burn and make the love anew.

The good republic lost to coup,

You will as you talk with the grid

Remember what they took from you.

Recall her rotten arm of blue,

Reject the feeble devil's bid,

And burn and make the love anew.

The memories replaced with clues,

You struggled long, but then you did

Remember what they took from you.

You'll call to mind, when troubles grew

And you had need, the friends who hid,

And burn and make the love anew.

Our dream's a black and blueish bruise

Encased in their dead pyramid.

Remember what they took from you

And burn and make the love anew.
