My Response Is:

Here I sit for all to hear
Singing my history,
In hopes that I am not the only one
that learns lessons from it.

for forgotten history is repeated,
and repeated history is nothing but tears.
So, I will sing it as loudly as my voice allows.
I will sing it as often as I may...
And I will hope that I am strong enough
to keep the memories alive
and history at bay.
