To Remember

A Sonnet

Time cruelly dismembers created things

All mortal beings will face their demise

Our task is diligent remembering

Those who forget will never join the wise

Relativism seems harmless enough:

Each with their own truth; nothing objective

But poisonous ideas we must rebuff

Fascism lies, from every perspective

Cults of personality, blood or soil

Conspire to make enemies of all

Who differ from ourselves, yet we must toil

To prevent civilization's grim fall

Do not be polite with fascist ideas

Remember those who held high the aegis

Sonnet
