Title: I don't want to lose you Post by: Kateb_nuri on June 21, 2006, 06:21:38 PM I don't want to lose you ( poem taken from Sally Ann book 2) By Kateb Nuri Shunnar In the beginning God gave us dominion over the land And from us civilization began And like the fern plant knowledge and wisdom begun to grow Our culture sprung up like grass blades coming up from the sand We raised the mountains, and cultivated the land We were the ones God said to "Let us make man " We The Kings And Queens The daughters and sons of God The fruit of the ever living tree Are at the brink of losing our history And all the power we had over the land To the sons and daughters of that accursed man Today I stand up never again will I let him abuse you Dear history I don't want to lose you Dear history enlighten me so that I may use you To better my future and prevent the evils from the past from ever happing again A wonderful tool are you So I hold on to you Because history I don't want to lose you. I don't want to lose The vision of my fathers and mothers who gave their lives So I could be who I' am. I don't want to forget the talent, arts, music and dance I can't let you be blown away in the wind like the sand . Oh history so many of the people care not about you They say your old and we must look forward to the new Oh history look how they do away with you But the sad thing is that with out you their world will always be misty blue See you're the key to a brighter tomorrow But they refuse to use you But I Do Because I don't want to lose you .
