New Poem: 'Behind Every Number' (+ bonus poem)

 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
