Let Us Remember
written by Rick Imamoto, September 24, 2001
I say this for you, I say this for me
in recent days, it has come to be
in judgement passed against the free
horrendous actions have been taken
illusions of safety have been shaken
so many lost who will never awaken
we shed our tears for those now gone
we gather together and try to be strong
we pick up the pieces and we carry on
and in the midst of wondering why
all of a sudden, i realize
in the endless conflicts between "us" and "them"
this always happens when people condemn
in the face of this suffering, it is understood
that maybe none of us is completely good
for all of us who carry a grudge
in result of suffering for how we’ve been judged
in light of actions recently been taken
as a result of judgement so badly mistaken
let us remember
none of us lives a life without sin
understanding this, let us begin
if we can find in our hearts, somewhere within
to avoid further battles that no one shall win
because human perceptions
are unmistakably flawed
the sole judgement that matters
belongs purely to God
