I know how it works, this generational hatred passed from fathers to sons, mothers to daughters an eternal remembrance of an event so old only bitter memories can keep it alive I too, have cause to extend pain beyond its life but am blessed, my parents never taught me to hate though fascism overran their native land and hatred would have been an easy escape
I learned instead to forgive
and the Sun shines brighter for it
The use of “Sun” in the last line is a nod to the original Star Trek episode “Bread and Circuses,” in which the word “Sun” was confused for “Son.”
“Sun” here is said, “Son” is intended.
