WE ARE
We are the lost ones
Seeking refuge in dark alleys
Told we are not forgotten
We are a past generation's hope
Asking daily for forgiveness
Viewed as misbegotten
We are restorers of humanity
Who punished betrayers of justice
Now the hangman in his own noose
We are the select few
Wandering parks and streets
Lost in a sea of endless faces
We are the faded photographs
Stored in an attic
Yearning to finish our missions
We are both the young and the old
Poised on the cliff's edge
Thinking of a last goodnight
We are our nation's warriors
Destined to become
Line-items in a county's budget
