Response to "Distant Memory"

This poem was very well written as it made me think "do I really know my own history? ". People can't simply say " I understand where I have come from and where my roots derive, they need to find out themselves to know completely. " the poem asks direct questions to the reader, creating a sense of  being spoken to, a conversation between the author and reader, such as " have you been back to the villages of your parents?" . The use of font and haiku style indicates that this question is important.
