HARD TO STOMACH

On the anniversary of the moon landing.

50 years ago I saw the moon landing on T.V.

and the brits came into Ardoyne, aliens

a giant step for mankind.

I have no memory of that now as my long-

Term memory was erased by a stroke.

I don’t want to remember those days

As they are hard to stomach.

They say the gut is a brain-like organ, so,

That memory is deep locked-in, if at all

It ever comes back, you can celebrate all

You want but I know what I saw.

I just can’t bury my head in the sand,

I know we need global peace but we

Have to have global truth, a giant step

For mankind was a British kick in the balls

And I’ll remember that even if I forget.
