Being in the Writing Center isn't all work. We have plenty of time to work on lots of fun projects, too! Recently, we've been doing a bit of creative writing:
Disneyland On the crowded bridge we stand Listening to the tribal band Touristy tidbits for sale Looking like the poster in the mail Off to Disneyland - Jenny B. and Elie I do not Understand Why, but this Past is most Certainly Impossible to Forget Must never cease seeking an understanding Must never quit learning about the past Must never stop recognizing the capabilities of history to repeat itself Must never abandon holding those accountable Must never finish questioning the horrific, inexcusable genocide, that is so impossible to forget This is my history This is your history This is the history of the human race This is the history, impossible to forget Difficult to comprehend Challenging to recall Unbearable to see Inspiring to meet survivors Devastating to hear the stories Impossible to forget The world lost 6 million Jews The world lost 6 million unfulfilled lives The world lost 6 million innocent individuals The world lost 6 million brilliant minds The world lost 6 million pairs of eyes The world lost 6 million beautiful people to the unmerciful Hitler The world lost 6 million humans who are impossible to forget How large these numbers How cruel those Nazis How tragic the truth How difficult to grasp And how impossible to forget Must learn from our mistakes Must look to the future Must maintain faith in humanity Must teach our children that this history is, indeed, never to be forgotten For it is, impossible to forget -Carmen Honker
