In Memory...

I feel empowered.
I saw that they believed it!
Though it was a big lie.
Now don’t look at me in disapproval.
We did it so we would be saved.
Now you ask; saved from what?
Saved from a bigger horror.
We would never lie just because we want to.
We lie to survive.
We lie so that everyone else will be at peace.
If we didn’t, there would be ‘social chaos’
It was just our way of doing something to make something bigger stop.
Eddie, we ask for your help.
Help us to do well.
Help us to lie with grace.
Help them realize what they have done, and why we did this.
This is for your memory.
