Where those who cared are gone
And their memory resides in silence
So that all that remains is bad
Those today are lost in themselves
Sages ago have become history's ilk
Wisdom's end is within a breath
In a world alone day to day
Very few utterances to say
For none venture near to learn
To show interest in life, each turn
Long ago there were others so
The trauma of life separated though
They live their lives quietly yet
Now its known how they felt
A sense of loss, of betrayal too
That people and events changed
All that was, suddenly shaken
Tossed aside in sudden shock
So now time is grieving
A silent heart is weeping
Broken by the ideals held
Now lost in one's self
And so the world goes on
Then life is, right or wrong
