Unforgettable becomes Unforgivable
This song’s original working title was “Uncomparable”, which probably should have been “Incomparable”. Regardless of the temporary name, this composition by Irving Gordon became “Unforgettable” after the Suits at the music publishing company requested that the writer change the title to “Unforgettable”.
Wisely, Gordon did so, and the song was published in 1951. Nat King Cole, that next year, sang what is, for me, the definitive version of this lovely romantic tune.
All is fair in love in war, and We The People have a civilizational war going on, in the United States, in the United Kingdom, even in Europe!
I have therefore taken the perhaps unforgivable liberty to re-write these lyrics to suit a poetic declaration of determination by this citizen, among many, to right the wrongs committed by so many elected, and unelected, officials and bureaucrats.
Sometimes, a sin is unforgivable, even though we are morally bound to try to forgive their trespasses. It’s not like those people knew not what they were doing in abridging and abolishing our basic human rights. They knew quite well, and joked about it behind closed doors, that their rules pertained to Us, not to Them.
After all is fully known, and after all has been put into perspective, years, and years from now, then that healing process known as forgiveness can be achieved with clarity and serenity. Until such time, the abuses of civil liberties continue, even as the perpetrators laugh in our faces.
Wrongdoers rarely do right; and a God-fearing people rarely act with the wanton willfulness of a government gone amuck in the mire of its own corruption. The Ten Commandments are all that any Western society requires for honor, decency, and for the rule of true law to stand a chance amidst the ghoulish, grotesque, and ungodly money-lenders, money-launderers, money-grubbers, money-lovers.
What we must forgive in our betrayers are the treachery and the perfidy that they now openly flaunt as if there is no consequence, as if We the People can do nothing about their vile shredding of any constitution that has long been revered, and granted credence and respect.
Certain laws come to us from our Maker, not from the defective creature known as man. Those laws do not withstand violation by the elites of any nation, nor by the common run. It is the brutal breaking of those laws which constitute the unforgivable acts that, one day, the Lord will avenge.
Unforgivable
Unforgivable
that’s what you are
and insufferable
even from afar.
How the very thought of you
does things to me
with your pinhead
masks and imbecility.
Never before
has someone been more
Unforgivable
in every way
and forever more
that’s how you’ll stay.
That’s why, Nanny,
it’s so credible
that someone so unforgettable
is so unforgivable too.
Insufferable
that’s what you are
sticking your nose
in my private life
from afar.
That is why
the very sight
of you
crash-dives
trust in any
part of you.
Never before
has Government
been more
Unforgivable
in every way.
And forever more —
that’s how you’ll stay.
That’s why,
Neddy,
we’re all ready to
do away with the
sight of you.
All because
someone so insufferable
is unelectable too.
