Is guilt inherent in our system,
Or will we just forget?
We fall quarry to removed wisdom;
A bygone decade of regret / 

And to rectify our crimes
Is to take the path less taken;
But if by chance I falter near
The cruel cycle flickers, reawakened / 

It's what they call god-given;
as Locke says, natural rights;
And yet for long he's held it far
Cast away, broken plights / 

O, what a journey, one such full of revelation!
You've taught us how to feel so free
Away from the tyranny of your nation / 

So in our haze, through bleached lens,
We part the dusty curtains; 
Of a group that seeks just more
Than a memory-loss for certain / 

O, what a journey, one such full of revelation!
You've taught us how to love so right,
To leave the past forsaken /

So To You, From The Past,
And From Me, To The Future:
Let's face our history with clear sight,
Our transgressions closed and sutured.

I feel as if we are drifting closer and closer to the truth. 

And when we make it there, I don't know how anything will play out. Will I pursue my dreams of art? Will I leave a life of forensics and studying behind? Will I take my final breath in Neo, or will I live to see my nation in the real world and tell the tale?  The possibilities stretch out endlessly before me, and in my haste to decide I may lose my chance. 

When the storybook closes, who will I be?
