. These things now touched By indifferent hands Sit out of context On and under Long folding tables Like shocked survivors Of some unexpected disaster They await a future Bereft before of what and who Made it all worthwhile Now some are chosen By other would be owners While many once cherished Are left behind For when morning comes Bringing men in uniforms To take them far from home . |
