The Erased Hero's

All they talk about these days

Are the who's who's,

Not who was.

They forgot about

The sacrificial acts

And the assorted pacts

They heard all the claps

But it has all passed.

They forgot the ones

They promised to remember

These women and men

Laid the foundation

We stand on today,

And yet you don't seem to appreciate

The blood,

The sweat,

And all the tears,

That they poured graciously

And unconditional

For you,

For this world,

And this generation,

For us.

And you simply let your ego

Control your messed up mind

Because "They are all dead

What do they care"

Well I care!

We give credit to those

Who deserve it

And we will take it away from those

Who don't.
