Let’s We Forget, But Still Relevant

Let's we forget, but we're not dwelling on the past,
The violent times haven't changed much, yet some of us now wear the "mask",

We have "made it" now, escaped poverty, and now living the "dream",
Compensated for entertainment and compromised self-esteem,

Liberators in conflict, woke as hell, but few hear the teaching, 
While fewer push for reparations and the black "leaders" keep preaching,

Reparations and remembrance in time generations will heal,
While some still three fifths human, and the holocaust is still real.

Generations deny what still exists, as they are put to task,
Let's we forget the inconvenience, while considering who we ask.

- The Struggle Continues

Writers, both fiction and non-fiction, continue to seek psychosocial coping mechanisms with the "level" of the playing field and how those with a false sense of "equality" contend that those who did not "make it" are making excuses for their life's outcomes. This debate may be the source of literary energy that causes us to address the preponderance of evidence of what we see today versus what the "redeemed" also saw decades ago, but overcome in their journey to success. This rendition is yet another literary expression of the "pain" disenfranchised communities continue to persevere, yet find it insulting for others to dismiss socioeconomic disparity that never ended. Let's we forget that the amendments to law have addressed the issues that are supposed to be remnants of the past but are still relevant, especially if you cannot secure the representation to enforce it. Let's we forget that being politically correct is still necessary where politics affects your life the most, because we know that there's politics in everything.Ah yes, it does appear that the politicians who benefit from what we should forget is justifying why they vote to keep laws that keep the three fifths human in their "place".

With the departmentalization of activism, social media influence, and hacker algorithms perpetuating propaganda, "Let's We Forget" is no less than asinine given the less than desirable human behavior we see daily on various devices. This phenomenon appears to be changing the way more "benefactors" of false narratives are thinking because they are finding that less desirable behaviors are characteristic in every demographic and so-called "privileged" social class. Let's We Forget, but still relevant, reminds us that we must continue to teach the legacy of the "wins" and the lessons learned from the "losses". Authors, poets, artists, AND entertainers must continue to provide their creative expressions of how we can increase awareness and inspire others to be considerate of socially sensitive issues that could directly affect them too. The aforementioned suspicion of entertainer intentions still remains in contention with those of the most influential politicians; however, accountability has always been a social disparity for those who couldn't afford the "coverage".

I don't care to rehash my creative expressions of discomfort and debate on whether I should forget what has happened and is still happening in certain communities. Let's We Forget that racism and the opinions of others should influence our desire for expression. Let's We Forget that we can "get over" the social issues that the dissonant believes no longer exist. Let's We Forget that the social ills that youth living in impoverished communities must overcome. Finally, Let's We Forget that capitalism is not a source of health disparity and that we have the same control of the 24 hours we all are given each day. This is my time spent to express my two cents. I hope the "woke" people will agree, but this is my two cents. LIVE WELL and keep creating!
