about

LARISSA FORGETS
music by jeff libersher & chris block
words by chris block*

lyrics

the calendar in the first grade classroom
reads April 3rd, it's a lovely morning
one by one the children follow
to recite the words poetry has taught them

Larissa remember your parents, your comrades
Larissa remember we are you, we are you

about a third of the students perfect
the thoughts and words with emotion correct
no flaws thus far, this class untainted
as Larissa waits her turn

two stanzas hence, it's going smoothly
but the third is lost and silence follows
the SHAME of all Soviet upon her
to forget what no god has taught her

(*lyrics inspired by "Two Worlds Of Childhood: U.S. and U.S.S.R." by Urie Bronfenbrenner - p.1970)
