Backround people

by Sarah   Apr 4, 2006


Silent
Shadowed
Background people
Wordlessly drifting
Barely existing
Showing their sorrow with only their eyes
Their eyes!
How they cry!
Deep dark pools
Of memory
And of pain
The only tokens that bear the shame
They stand so close
But make themselves distant
So unreachable they appear
For fear
That their work will disappear
Running things behind the scenes
Bringing to life the words and the dreams
Of the shallow nothing people
That don't take the action
For all that they say
Its only the fraction
That find a way
The background life
That runs this world
Overworked hands
Rough and curled
They make it so easy for us all to smile
And in our stupidity forget for awhile
All of our problems and haunting strife
Of our insignificant life
