[Poem] Here's to the Orphans

 by Emmit Other

Here's to the lost ones

That slipped through the cracks

The people who struggle in shadow

We all know them except when we don't

They haven't lowered their shields

Where we can see

Abused and attacked 

They struggle and mend

On the side of the angels

But no one on which to depend

They likely have helped us

At work or at home

But these allies who need us

Can sometimes go it alone

They don't want to be a burden

They don't want to make drama

They just get a battle of wine

And marathon a show streaming o Rama

Reach out and ask

How your friends are all doing

Those who know me and read this

Reach out at your leisure

I am always willing to listen

Be there when able

For no one should spend the holidays alone

Unless

Of course

You are a fucking Nazi

Merry Christmas to all

And to all a Good Night

Be a light in the darkness

And fight the good fight
