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.
