I don’t have the best memory

there are a lot of things I forget.

Even with my best intention

the experience is lost for me

because no memory is set.

Even when I have a connection

to the moment tied with a deep root

that moment will surely be lost

and I will have no recollection

when the memory will become mute.

Except, for now, I still remember

the details of that one specific day

where I was, how I felt, what I did

on that one day in September

that still feels like it was yesterday.

It’s true, I don’t remember a lot

but I remember all too well

the day our nation was attacked.

No, that I have not yet forgot,

our united day of mournful hell.
