The Forgotten

Do you remember them? The ghostly faint voices of the children Sending whispers upon the wind But do you here them? Their pleading wails Eerily calling into the night "Please don’t forget me" But you do... Recognition of those pale, white faces Lost in short time Remembrance given to The blood splattered fiend permeating with guilt But do any of you remember The glistening crystals The shock the horror Pasted upon the drained faces The scared The mourning The world As tragedy struck her resonating dissonant chord For all the world to hear But the spotlight then did fall To the master mind of that days' pain A day does pass...a week...a month ….....A year Do you remember them now The ghostly voices of the victims fade Their whispers carried away by the wind And you do not here them Yet one little voice still begs; "Please do not forget me....I am important too" But soon the forgotten is faded And molded in their place are the rotted teeth Of the monster that stole their lives And is forever immortalized But will you remember THEM? Will you remember the dead Do you remember the victims...?
