The Stories Gone Untold
This ones for all the stories gone untold
For any person who was far too bold
And stood up for those who could not stand up for themselves
Stood up to those who should go to hell
This is for the victims of the simple cruelties
That people in the world just never seem to see
The horrors that may be behind
A grave.
For not every grave in the cemetery is for a person dead of old age,
Oh no.
Too many are the victims of cruel and senseless murders
Too many are the victims of a simple bank robbery
An easy to handle bank robbery
Spiraled out of control.
Too many are the people
Whom only their families are sad for
Or maybe nobody is sad for them
Because they had no family at all.
Not even a friend.
This is for little boys and girls
Who never really got their life unfurled
This is for the homeless people from the streets
Who never actually had anything to eat
And were caught in the middle of a carefully planted bomb
And watched their life blow to pieces.
This is for the people
Caught in the middle
Of a senseless and cruel attack
Just because someone wanted money.
Or power.
Or both.
This is for the people who died just because.
This is for the people nobody really grieves for.
This is for the people
Who died of starvation
From being held hostage
Who prayed for salvation.
This is for the people
Who are just another face
On the news report,
The people who nobody cares about
It makes us want to scream and shout.
This is for the people buried by their grave
This is for the people
Heroes could not save.
