We are the forlorn and the forsook
Be forewarned
And pause
Look down on us and brace
State your intent and cause
And if you are within or without
The law
This may well predict our
Response and/or any movement
Either for or against
Be forewarned however
And stay your remarks be they
Kind or callous
Filled with good intent or malice
Stay your raised hand also
We have no need of handouts
Nor salutations
But silence as to our local predicament is
Appreciated
And may move you forward
As opposed to wayward
We the forsook and forlorn
Smile savagely
Grin ironically
We demand nothing but
Your undivided attention
Give us your span
Your faux heartfelt elan
So me might yet
Outlast the remainders
Those for and against us
Stay your advance but sit
Shed no tears
For the forlorn and forsook
