| Remembrance |  |
| Goodbye can not be said to those who do not leave.
We cannot allow you to go.
Our hearts are full of the images left to us,
in the wake of your passing,
but we will not let them fade
into the nothingness of oblivion!
Your gift, the price that you paid for us,
is boldly emblazoned in our corridors
of loving memory.
There is no understanding,
no rational grasp of the dark horror,
that transported you from among us.
There is only the intense discomfort
at recalling the helpless rage
of watching you depart.
We will not say goodbye!
Nor will we welcome the efforts
of those who would!
You are indelibly imprinted on our hearts,
on the hearts of the nations of reason,
and so will you remain. | By William Hood
