(The Art of Forgetting)


The boy never wanted to forget

These times as kids were more

Than he (the son) would ever get

In the 'noble' home he'd had before

.

But blood, fire, iron, and water

Can work their terrible, ghastly wonders

Gone are the days of his hateful father

But good days, the fire also plunders

.

Years later, here he is now, all grown

Except for the giant hole in his head

A forgotten past sad news has shown

To hold brothers, one grieving, one dead

.

Who knows how tables would've turned

Had he known of those days long ago

Perhaps his brother wouldn't have burned

But because he forgot, he'll never know

.

So he's thankful, and sad, and happy too

That their littlest is still around today

He's thanked him for making it through

And is sorry for not earlier finding his way

.

He's not a pirate, but he's still free

(And that's all that really counts)

He'll make this world the best it'll be

With revolutions his savior mounts

.

He'll take the fire, and disband

The terrible knowledge he's just regained

Think of the good and the future at hand

To unleash a beast fire and iron contained

.

'I'm alive!' He'll yell proudly someday

So all the people in the world will know

For him and the one he couldn't save,

A brother's fire, now his, to the world he'll show
