That's the world you shaped

Ghosts of people long gone

The ones remaining are taking their last few breaths

Beaten down by the precision of the wooden ruler

Yet nothing was voiced or brought up for concern

Each 'fought their war valiantly' and 'did the best they could'

That's what those left want to believe

In hope that they themselves will leave their mark, make a difference and leave some proof other than their names on a marble stone, indicating that they once lived

But that's the world we live in with ghosts of people long gone
