Don’t Forget

Don’t forget. The shadows that slip away when the sun shines too brightly Or those invisible hands reaching out The ones who hide deep in shelters at night Or sneak through valleys of the outskirts The anonymous ones that float on towards oblivion For each child holding a book Is wrapped up in their own mind Unaware of the world they live in Each parent’s view is set only on their stars Orbiting around their tightly kept heart As they hurry by this calling out Each person looks away Or is too blind to see in the first place While the pain of the forgotten continues on Going Unnoticed, Unnamed, Anonymous For the lonely stay locked inside The guards of their own key The poor go their way For their cries fall on unbreakable walls The immigrants struggles on Their untold story quenched of its flame The refugees search for homes The lost wander far The depressed fall to tears The anxious are left alone And everyone person is caught wondering When will they become a little less anonymous.
