Whatever Happened?

The unsung heroes will go about their day

Regardless of the welcome they've overstayed

It's just the price that they will pay 

The unsung hero forgotten on any given day

Looking in the mirror at a lonely reflection there 

Like a solemn ghost seen at the top of the stairs

The unsung hero the isolation more than he can bare

The unsung heroes who really cares?

Whether it be on the battlefield or parenthood

It’s on the proper side of wrong and right he stood

Despite the hardship be did what he could

But, not everything in this world happens as it should,

Even when you’ve done it right there’s a slippery slope

The lines are blurred like the darkness in which you grope

He hung on while all others would have lost hope

Dealing with a material world of lies in order to cope,

Whatever happened to a hero’s welcome on the streets?

It seems all the sheep are obsessed with defeat

Minds indoctrinated as if covered with embedded concrete

If you seek the truth better take a seat,

Isolation seems to be the universal choice

For the unsung hero little chance to rejoice

Standing up to an evil spirit’s voice

Do you wonder why his eyes are getting moist?

I never ran out on you

But you left me with a tainted view

Yet, somehow my memories are all askew

You don’t have to ask why I’m feeling blue,

Where are the rewards for standing tall?

Not allowing loved ones to fall

Responding to the valiant call

Losing love, family, and all,

Unsung heroes bleed out slow

Good deeds are few and far below

Bloody footprints of Continental soldiers in the snow

Sorry if the ,love I gave didn't show.
