The Forgotten

The Forgotten ? To live with this conscious contusion and forget how babies cry Become so untouched by horror commonplace a communion with nothing Care less for hunger and wish the lacerations pestilent Abjure the reminder and seek instead disjunction so cognitive Every scream drowning in the approbate applause of spectators By percentage defame intelligence and baluster half-whit Better to forget how babies cry and how a child's innocence can be turned into cold splattered meat Better to recount such heroic deeds and send the fools battalion to complete them All laid to burials garden, the disregarded faceless unnamed the forgotten And for a price no soulless may seek redemption Such a carnage is wrought in the heart and may brand us all unforgiven Echoes still the terror impudent inflicted the weak transgressor But dragged all to quivering knee with its spike so driven by denial Better to forget how babies cry and how a child's innocence can be turned into cold splattered meat
