Scott Leitch I Remember

I Remember by Scott Leitch

I remember when the world span round. The people not yet downed, No one frowned, Playing on the ground, And I could hear the sound, Of happiness all around.

I remember when the world tripped The peace had slipped The cycle had been skipped Our wings had been clipped Our futures had dipped

I remember when the world’s waters rose The wind began its ferocious blows It was as if we were being sacrificed to the Gods who chose As the earth slowly froze

I remember when the world began to die And what had once been a peaceful July Was now a wasteland where no one could fly

I remember when the world wasn’t watching me dying And that’s when I started denying.

I remember when the world… I…

I remember when the world was full of beautiful people All as sweets as a freshly made treacle

I remember when the world was full of plants With their beauty that enchants Their leaves taken by the small ants I remember when the world was full of love From humans to a little dove Even I had my own love of… …why can’t I remember?

I remember when the world was full… Full of… I can’t remember? Why now? Why now? I want to remember, I don’t want to forget

I want to remember when the world was full I need to remember when the world was full I can’t die forgetting it I refuse to Is that fair to let me die forgetting? I wish I could remember as the light left my eyes.
