Just Remember Poem by Okoemu Okoemu Okoemu

Just Remember

Rating: 5.0


If you can afford clothes and shoes today, remember those days that you couldn't
Remember those now that can't.

If now, you can afford bread, remember those days that you couldn't and even more, remember now those unable to.

If even now you own a roof over your head, remember those days that you couldn't and even more now, those who cannot.
Those days you were a tenant, never forget now that you are a landlord.

Therefore now, you have mint and you are richer than Arkad, remember so, those days when you had, not even a coin
And more so, those now, that have not even a coin.

Even when you have always had them
Do not therefore forget that it could have been the other way
Only a mere privilege, for you; therefore remember now, even when there is nothing to remember at least for those who are unfortunate to be as privilege as you are.

Every man is only but either, privilege or underprivileged.
Never by your strength or might.

-Okoemu Okoemu Okoemu, Deadman Alive
