1960 Hopes And Dreams Poem by Alex Jones

We never noticed, breezing through life only worried about who would ask us to the prom. A few did take notice of the ones never spoken to or looked at. As they passed by eyes were averted. No one invited them to any event but war. They were invited to fight for a country that didn't even want them. We finally noticed but felt so alone. How could a handful of us make a difference. Suddenly we had brothers and sisters massing together. It was a glorious time.
