Unmourned
Unmourned A thousand voices silenced Before they made a sound The world moves on Where are the children Lost in a self complacent Churning whirlwind of lies A mother goes in Her child remains No one mourns Our children are abandoned A thousand lives gone How long has it been? A day? An hour? Each moment they slip away Never to be remembered Who will notice their absence? A thousand first breaths Never taken First cries Never heard First steps Untaken First laugh Unknown Who will notice the unheard cries? Sent to an early death Unmourned Unremembered Undesired What did they do? Nothing What do we care? Nothing Will they remain unmourned forever? Mourn the lost children Protect the unseen ones How did they lose their value? In their size In their age In their location In their hiddenness In their innocence In their perfection? Who has called for their end? Who cries out for their death? Why so early Why so young Why so horrible So torturous and end? Will any cry out against this? Cr
