The power is out again
The phone is down again
No internet
No water today
The mosquitos are thick this time of year
I am remembering those days
I said
I’d never forget
But I did
I am remembering the people
I said
I’d never forget
And I haven’t
I sleep on the floor
I work and I scheme
I pray to do more
I can not forget them
I can do more
I will do more
