Message from the Unborn

Do you know
Who we are?
You likely don't.

We are the ones who never had a chance to sing.
We are the ones who never had a chance to dance.
We are the ones who never had a chance to breathe.
We are the ones who never had a chance
To see the light.
We were taken in the dark.
Do you know
Who we are?
You probably can't.

Our brethren are the ones who are praised.
Our brethren are the ones who are kissed.
Our brethren are the ones who are loved.
Our brethren are the ones who are
Alive.
We were dead before born.
Do you know
Who we are?
You simply mustn't.

Ours are the names that never grace a page.
Ours are the names that never can be said.
Ours are the names that never are dreamed of.
Ours are the names that never are
Named.
We are as nameless as the sands.
Do you know
Who we are?

You do.
