The Forgotten one,

The old man in the corner.

An aged bear surrounded by youth.

The Forgotten one,

The nattering man in the center.

A simple servant mocked by those braver and cleverer.

One of few words

The other of too many

One viewed as strength

The other as inconsequential

to all but the leader,

The new leader.

He sees wisdom

He sees loyalty

He sees them for all they are

And all they can become.

Until he is blinded once more

By pretty eyes through a slotted mask

By injustices forced upon strangers

By his own demons.

And the two men remain

Bonded by a cause

Surrounded by friends

they remain

Forgotten.


A/N: Yes, another poem...I don't know where this came from, but it just popped in my head and I had to write it down. Poor Much, always the devoted friend and John, the insightful former leader... I don't think they are fully appreciated in the group. So here is a poem just for them. Hope you enjoyed, reviews are appreciated!
