Who dares forget the time we’ve had,
What blasphemy! Have we been bad?
When all your care is in your books,
Where is ours? It’s stolen, you crooks!
Why should we, you say, be mad?
Let me show you, I’ll be glad:
Was it not you who burnt libraries to the ground?
Alexandria cries for her books are unfound!
Of a night in ‘33 rests an evil reign,
Your hated evil spread out once again,
With one slow night of fire and flame,
The voice of Jews hushed forever again.
So now you've seen your luscious vile terror
As my voice is erased, this was your error!
Many times this tragedy has past,
Our voices hushed by the fire you cast.
Now you are me at last! At last!
The forgotten voice; the shadow of the past.

title: Cry! Our Names Are Forgotten.
going to submit to *Eefera's [link] contest called Ancient Voices. The poem is about all the libraries, and/or books we (humans) have burnt and forgotten. What if you have contributed something great to the history books and in one instant it was all consumed in flames and you were never heard? Alexandria was an ancient city and it had a giant library which held 2/3s of the worlds literature. In one battle it was all lost. What did we loose? Did we gain anything? May 10th 1933 ('33) was a night in Nazi germany where the country tried to burn every non german book (specifically ones written by the jews). What was lost in those books? Again, did we gain anything? you don't know what you've got till its gone. Perserve our memories. |

As of September 2009 =ImaginaryRosse joined the project and will be helping us out with the weekly choices. While things have changed over time, the essence of the newsletter is still the same. As of recent, the talented =Behana has joined us in bringing you this weekly newsletter and we are excited to have her on board.

Life is like a rubix cube... it pisses you off.
