Let Us Forget

Let us forget that we live in an
empty world,
Where people don't know what
they're looking for,
And they drift around like
clouds in a dull grey sky,
Searching for some kind of
colour.
Let us forget that we live in a
blind world,
Where no one sees the lost child
in the supermarket,
And the bleeding fox lies dying
by the road-side,
Waiting for the clock to stop
ticking.
Let us forget that we live in a
silent world,
Where no one can hear the trees
screaming,
And the crisp packets are blown
around like leaves,
Moving like underwater swimmers.
Let us forget that we live in a
lonely world,
Where there are no presents
under the Christmas tree,
And the old woman sits alone by
the fire,
Hoping that her doorbell will
ring.
Let us remember that we live in
a hopeful world,
Where the sun shines through the
rain,
And there is one man who holds
the door open for the next,
Smiling as he says good morning.
