Thousands lay dying on the side of the road
There ribs poking through their flesh
People drive by pretending not to notice
These are the forgotten
The many who the world no longer sheds a tear for
Mothers watching their children slipping away
But what can they do?
How can they stop it?
Forgotten by those who once cared
Left to die without a hope or a chance
To dig shallow graves hour by hour as more fade away
There cries going unnoticed by everyone but God
All they want is a chance for survival
An opportunity to exist without the torture or pain
To be remembered in a world they have come to hate
They place no blame for what they have endured
Only pray for God to take them away
