Families

Lives lived and lost in time.
Who were they and why did they die?
I thought you knew back when I was young,
But it was a lie.  Time passes
So fast.
Details become someone's
generalities and
Subtleties lose their relevance.
Everyone's so confused --
Does anyone know how they lived?
This is useless.
Why did you tell me?
You didn't know and no one
Remembers.
