Fashion shades and salon hair,
Heels to help where nature failed,
Artificial teeth and nails.

You cannot know the sweetness of victory
Without first dwelling in the agony of defeat.

These eyes are blind to several hundred left behind.
(Lest we forget again.)
But the border is breached but not broken.
Who tries to find the several hundred left behind?
But the border is breached, the border is breached, the bo-

(These eyes are blind.)
The several hundred left behind.
We forgot again.
