 LEST WE FORGET IS THE
CRY IN A HYPOCRITICAL
SOCIETY

“I live a dream in a nightmare world”
There is nothing more sacred in life than that of the core of humanity.
INNOCENCE. Something we are all born with and sadly loose as
we go through the years. Innocence becomes compromised by misconception,
life experiences, cultural believes and norms. Not to mention
education, religion and socio-economic environments.
All social smokes and mirrors that keep the mind confused and easily
influenced. We believe that we feel not that of which we understand.
Understanding only confuses us further as we are left with more question
that in many cases can’t be answered.
It seems that in modern society we have become numb of the realities
and instead pool into groups of like-wise confusion. Confusion
that has nations divided. That has society torn apart in many directions
and beliefs. From religion to Politics. We live our lives believing that
of which we truly do not understand but instead have a very strong
opinion based on misconception fueled by hearsay.
We believe that we are all good people.... our actions speak other as
there is not one person reading this that can attest to being pure of
mind and body. To have never faulted and or pass prejudice upon
another. To have never regret in the face of adversity.
We are humans. During this period of remembrance one has to
acknowledged the reality of what it is to be human. It is easy to say
and shed a tear... LEST WE FORGET. Then turn around and go about
our way with not truly understanding the emotion and or the meaning
of LEST WE FORGET.
By definition, ‘LEST WE FORGET’ means: formal + literary. : it should
not be forgotten.
LEST WE FORGET that we are all human. That we all share a common
threat of confusion in a society that is set forth to oppress us and
pigeon hole us. To manipulate us and to force conformity through laws,
norms and or peer pressure.
LEST WE FORGET - that in the name of freedom we are led to believe
we have choice. As choice is predestined by wealth. The more
wealth the more choices. In turn the more freedom.
LEST WE FORGET - that power and wealth is attained not so much by hard work as we are
led to believe, but instead by your ability to manipulate the rules/norms/policy/law/.
LEST WE FORGET - that those that follow have given up on hope and have tired of trying only
to be faced with the same outcomes. We can’t all be Kings but we can surely all be slaves.
Slaves to our own surrender of effort.
LEST WE FORGET - that it is easier to pass on responsibility. Rationalize that of which is not
rational and take away ownership of ones duties and responsibilities.
LEST WE FORGET - how we go about our daily routines with little or no thought of what is at
stake in our lives. We say one thing our actions speak another. We love our fellow man only
to turn another cheek in the name of self preservation. In a rationale that has no founding
rational.
LEST WE FORGET - that we go around behaving in a way that suggests one has higher standards
or more noble beliefs than is the case. Claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to
which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense. Please don’t read this and say in your
mind... OH IT IS NOT ME.... as by making that statement you just proved this to be right.
Remember we are humans. We all do it. Our innocence has been compromise and we are
a confused species... by someone denouncing they are not. They are acclaiming they are.
Part of understanding is acceptance. Acknowledgement and the realization what we are.
But in November 11, we all humbly bow our heads.... as we should and keep in our hearts:
LEST WE FORGET - those innocent lives that fell during war. In their mind and in their soul
they served their countries in hope for a better tomorrow. As we should never forget anyone
that has sacrificed in the name of a better tomorrow. I just wish that we as a race as a civilization
use every day as a remembrance day to acknowledge the good about our psychological
make up and learn from that of which we have been led to live by and as. We as human being
are all good deep inside. LEST WE FORGET that we owe it to ourselves to always remember
and learn from where we been and where we are going.
