The Obituary of Jane Doe - Reid Glynn
Here lies she, the face of the voiceless
The name which none could carry
One lost to the count of the masses
Which he culled from the earth
Her beauty lies dormant
Under his horrors and destruction
For she was only to hold a candle
To his name
A placeholder
A name for the pen
Used by the many
Unmarked and unknown
Here lies she, forever lost to the earth
Nothing but a corpse in the dirt
A mark on a tally
Lost to those who took her
