Four sisters loved and treasured
Four sisters who were taken
But you must be reassured
There is nothing seeming broken
The smiles and relaxed stance
Crossed arms and hidden hands
Everything is fine at first glance
Let me explain so you can understand
Taken and hidden for years
One picture every single year
To remind us of their absence
It is all so very insincere
The way they look so adamant
With eyes that stare coldly
They look as if they’re defiant
They stare back so boldly
Almost unafraid for their lives
Compelling yet so challenging
As if daring to strike with knives
Four girls daring to defy the camera
They still have not resurfaced
Pictures still come every year
No one sees the purpose
But we can still see the fear
The fear is still visible
We see the stubbornness
But nothing is invisible
Nothing filled with absurdness
But they’re still out there
And they will be found
Pictures still in the air
But they’ll be unbound
