Never Born

Where 

are they?

All those

who never

were.

All those

never born.

Many reasons.

War.

Millions killed.

Millions more 

never

born.

Whole lines

of family

future, 

poof.

Generation

after 

generation,

poof.

Never to be.

People you’d

be conversing 

with right

 now.

Having a coffee,

watching the game,

sharing a beer.

Never happened

never arrived.

Where are they?

People you’d

have differences 

with.

Argue with.

Love, 

share

time with.

Never born,

never arrived.

Their essence,

never

to be.

Where 

are they?

Strange

existence 

indeed!
