A million names,
Each with a face,
A family, a past,
Each had their dreams, their hopes,
Each had a heart,
Each was born,
Was alive,
All gone now,
Nothing but memories,
Good and bad,
Memories untouched,
Left to lie,
To die, Alone,
Who will find them?
Who will unearth them from their dirt-filled grades?
These untouched pieces of history,
Forgotten to the world,
Who will reach out and touch them?
Caress them and heal them?
Who will tell the world their dark secrets?
Will you?
Will I?
