Forgotten Victim

Sand Man

Earth's Fury
Forgotten Victim
?Į?Į

Blood trickles from an open wound

spilling dreams and memories

that disintegrate when smothered

by the crisp morning air.


?Į?Į

The victim's mind is empty

like the wallet that once held

a measly five pound note.


?Į?Į

Two glazed eyes tattooed with shock

offer a glimpse into this victim's ordeal.

A still heart and an absent pulse

prove death.


Humanity continues to breathe

despite being an individual less.

The victim becomes forgotten

while life continues.
