Forgotten People

Walking through the ashes of what used to be lives

Not a person alive in sight

They fought this fight everyday

Now they've gone away years before their time

Committed  no crime but living

Cried cries that will never be heard

Can you hear that sound?

Cab you see that person begging?

Can you feel their pain?

Written in blood and tears are their tales

Stakes you never thought could be real

Pain never thought one could actually feel

Living day after day in fear of dying

No air in their lungs

Suffocated by the explosions

Buildings falling, ground shaking

This place they call home is breaking

Falling to pieces

This nightmare never ceases

Opening their eyes to fall into this harsh reality

No way to escape this

Can you take them away from their world?

Can you feel the pain in their lives?

Can you see that person dying?

Written  in blood and tears is their tale

Tales you never thought could be real

Pain never thought one could actually feel

Step outside your world, your propaganda, your ego

Go away from from your home

Go see the child living alone

Shown from birth the ways of loss and destruction

Lose your false perception of reality

Leave the vanity behind

Stop the insanity and tell the tales of the forgotten people
