Where have all the people gone

That used to stand at night

Who stood the watch upon The Wall

With those who fought the fight?

There used to be so many

I could see each way I’d face

But tonight The Wall was silent

As to memories I paced...

No vets, no tourists, no breathing soul

Was present in my haze

Where are they now those brave young men

Who swore they’d stand so tall

That NEVER would a sobbing vet

Alone come face The Wall?

I’m glad I came alone this night

Because next week you see

I would have drug a friend along

Who’s a lot worse off than me.

The Walking Dead are walking still

And will for years, I’m shown

Until they finally face THEIR wall

But they can’t go alone.

So stand aware, you vets and friends

The lone wolf comes one night
