Monk Incognito

had they known they where not alone

in their insulated bunkers

if only they had know someone cared

for their neglected vessels

who would have listened to them

back when they were coherent

haunting

subtle, and wonderfully constructed. i can't claim to grasp who or what group of forgotten souls you are talking about, but the mood comes in very clearly and with a gorgeous force. great job!
