The Dead Poet & Other Stories

 A notebook stained with blood 

Unnamed poet, missing in the crowd 

Someone's wait for a reunion never fulfilled, 

Someone's goodbye was never said. 

Of an innumerable number of lifeless bodies.

A poem half finished, some lost in the wind 

Who will remember the stories behind them?

Who will know the unfinished tales 

That ended within moments 

On a derailed train track 

Or those whose lives changed forever 

While you are too busy to blame and shame.
