Just another soul I met along the way

He’s faded from our memory

Yet somehow came back to me

Ali something, can someone recall?

But it’s been a long time

Since he was killed by his father’s hand

His family too,

Atrocity, hard to understand

But that too faded from memory

That too has now become

another thing that happened along the way

Another inhuman act

That faded with the day

Strange. The thing is…

Even your loved ones fade from memory

So do simple souls you meet along the way

Broken bodies and active minds

Happy moments and vicious crimes

Faded from memory

Yet somehow he just came back to mine

Can’t recall his name or face today

But can recall that there was a crime.
