Forgotten

To those forgotten

and those who forget

I ask:


"What sloppiness

allows

us to allow this

life to slip

into unconsciousness?"


When life is lonely

and empty of all

I ask:


"What confusion

allows

us to allow this

thief inside

to steal our attentions?"


When apathy weeps

grey, heavy tears

I ask:


"What disorder

allows

us to allow this

dirge in to

rob us of intention?"
