Remember
Remember the titans
The 300 Spartans
The war and the fighting
The blood and the sweat
Remember the soldiers
The ones who have died
The moving of boulders
The making of life
Remember the greatest spy
Dream to be the true light
Even as time will pass you by
Look within your heart and soul
Remember the Revolution
The turning of tables
The start of evolution
A battle to the end
Remember 9/11
The planes as they crashed
I hope they're in heaven
A paradise to be
Remember your family
The ones who inspired
The Normandy beach D-Day landing
The saving of lives
Remember those who came before
The lessons they taught
They have opened a door
A way to begin
Remember your past
Live in your present
The present won't last
That's the truth of our future
Remember the stories
The fun you have had
The gold rush, the mined quarrys
The success and failure that came
Remember your first love
Not person but thing
The sky is above
But the stars are within
Remember your struggles
Your times of despair
The digging with shovels
A treasure to find
Remember the book Holes
A kid against the odds
Yet he achieved his goals
He never gave up
Remember your country and home
The place you have known
The world as you've grown
Your destiny you believe
Remember the memories
The pictures in the scrapbook
The bandages and the remedies
The pain you had felt
Remember the Spartans
The days they had fought
The formation it sharpens
22,000 they kill
Even if you are the few
You still have a chance
So what will you do
Rise or fall apart
This question you must answer
Because it will decide your fate
Tarzan and the panther
A choice you will make
Even in the darkest times
When you feel completely alone
The world and it's designs
Make up your own
This is long but I speak
I hope you understand
A life you must seek
Become your own hero

H, Jordan
This is, indeed, a walk down memory lane! You have a way with word and thought flow that is quite evident in this particular piece. Your 19 stanzas embrace historical facts as well as personal experiences. The last four stanzas take a look at future prospects -- quite a turn-about from its memory lane matters. The message seems to be that we should learn from our past to make a better future, because "[we] still have a chance...[to] Rise or fall apart."
The fairly random rhyming lines mirror the uncertainty of happenings and the inconsistent occurrences of history. You seem to achieve some lucidity in the well-balanced rhymes versus the mental fatigue in the verses that show no loyalty to a fixed scheme.
I would love to know your motivation for this poem. It seems to conceal as well as reveal much about how you see life.
Well done!
Sincerely

I don't remember why I wrote this. It just was something I decided to write on that day. You understood what I was trying to say and I appreciate the comment. I'm always thinking. For me, you can't live for the future without having lived in past. It sounds so simple when I put it like that but there is more depth in the words I say. Our life has 3 stages. A line with 3 dots. The middle holds your present and the other dots hold the rest of your life. To me the present isn't a solid dot though. It's like a math equation on a grapth. Instead of = to, it's not one solid answer. I'm speaking in riddles so I'm going to try to simplify it a bit before I go completely abstract. The past affects our future. The present is ever changing into your future. Your future is affected by both the past and what you do now. Your future can be mapped out starting from your past. Each time has a connection. I could have said thanks and moved on, but I appreciate the thought and the quality feedback. I see darkness and light as even as past and future. Because the middle is never steady. Never without one or the other. So I think and I try to remember because from that I can learn so much and change my fate. I think and connect everything to a single point. But even "this point" is never always the same. That's how I think and that's how I come up with these. It's just who I am.

This poem was about exactly what you said. I may have put a little bit of thought into something that may be a little bit off topic. I connect everything so I can do that.
