The elephant remembers every step he's taken,
Every peanut bitten, every tree shaken.
The chemist remembers the elements of all,
Every reaction balanced, every proton's fall.
The wordsmith remembers the language of grace
From tongues long past of peoples and place.
The salmon remembers his birthing stream.
The path to his home is etched on a dream.
But the Jew remembers a nightmare of sin
Of lights made dark, of hate born within
When Evil convinced a nation to kill
Solve all their problems - only blood to spill.
Citizens turned away as their hearts grew cold,
Hiding from the horror their own lips told,
Denying the result of six million still -
The holes left in life that no works can fill.
Our tools of remembrance are delicate at best
So while the heart still beats in our chest
Tell all the world, "There is racism yet!"
It's a lesson that we must never forget.
