BEHIND EVERY NUMBER
Behind every number, a flame that has perished
Behind every number, a voice that lies still
Behind every number, a life that was cherished
Behind every number, a bone-shrinking chill
Behind every number, a pain unrelenting
Behind every number, a lost work of art
Behind every number, a daughter lamenting
Behind every number, a son torn apart
Behind every number, a family muted
Behind every number, an echo of grief
Behind every number, an essence diluted
Behind every number, a life-leaching thief
Behind every number, a world-beating failure
Behind every number, the quickest of bucks
Behind every number, a dithering jailer
Behind every number, the lamest of ducks
