Dec. 6 1989 Ecole Polytechnique Montreal

[jhameia]

I don't remember your names
your mothers asked us not to keep repeating them
and it was enough
I don't need to remember your names
your deaths happened in violence force
and it was enough
I don't need your names
your legacy echoes through university halls
and it is enough
I do need to remember, though,
your needless passing as a gruesome reminder
that it's not enough
(every whispered name)
it's not enough
(every unrecorded violence)
(it's not enough
(every new death like your death)
it's not enough
it's not enough
it's not enough

Always remember.
