Where

Where’d they all go
Disappearing faces
By the thousands 
The missing grow

We all still walk
Past the souls
Wandering past bodies
Nobody cares to know

We leave our homes
With not any shame
Never saying hello
Not  knowing our neighbors name

We pretend to love
Going through the emotions
Like the dead and missing
Are the hearts that are broken….
