The Unknown
The ones who break their backs and fall on their knees
So others can stand; and be heard their pleas
They are not seen. They are...
The ones who work in the background
Who blend in with the walls and make now sounds
They are the worker bees. They are...
The ones who work in the grunge
So in success we can plunge, and say "hoorah!"
They are the real "oohs" and "ahhs". They are...
The ones we ignore, we laugh at and snore,
We call them bore!
We take in this lore that just because
They are uncommon that we should take all in
Their hard work and get the credit
We know it's not fair, yet we don't regret it
because...
The broken bones, the fallen, the background, the walls
the worker bees, the real "oohs" and "ahhs", the nameless
the so-called "worthless"
We are so shameless, for we only know them as;
The Unknow.
