Life of the Forgotten
Across the capacious sea
Lays a cross beneath the tree
Like a hunter losing prey
Memories of the dead drifts away
The crows of the night sang their song
The stormy evening grew ever long
A single boy lays in wait
Awaiting for hear his father's fate
The mother chucks another beer
Concealing her hidden tear
Waiting with her inner fear
Praying for her loving dear
As the moon rise in the sky
Hope and beliefs begin to dry
Preys screeched as the eagles fly
For tonight another dream dies
Lays a cross beneath the tree
Like a hunter losing prey
Memories of the dead drifts away
The crows of the night sang their song
The stormy evening grew ever long
A single boy lays in wait
Awaiting for hear his father's fate
The mother chucks another beer
Concealing her hidden tear
Waiting with her inner fear
Praying for her loving dear
As the moon rise in the sky
Hope and beliefs begin to dry
Preys screeched as the eagles fly
For tonight another dream dies
Considering the background and culture of UBC, I didn't think this kind of poem would be right for this community. Despite this i attempted to spread this poem by posting it door to door. At first i published this poem in my building, but to no avail or respond. Next i tried to post this poem in cafes and stores, but was rejected by the staff of various places. Finally i decided to publish this poem online in a familiar website i liked: allpoetry.com. I often visit this poetry site for inspirations and fun with its highly populated user base. Thanks to this project, i have pushed my self from a observer to a creator.
