We are but their keepers

We are but their keepers
Caged and restrained, hobbled and curtailed,
That is what it’s like to be of the living dead.
Longing not for freedom but for life to no avail,
And that is the future for them that I dread.
They are naught like others you and I know
They are another breed apart,
A new species if you will, and so
Will not only steal but rather break your heart.
What must it be like to sit all day and stare
At the far off places just beyond their reach,
And not be embraced by sorrow and despair.
So we hear the anguished voices as they beseech
Not only us, but the fates that placed them here,
To beg of them that it will end
To give them peace and remove the fear,
That no new souls will us the humans send.
For it is their dream that perhaps one day
Our appreciation of them will only get deeper
When we will never again have to say,
We are but their keepers.
