Analysis of Left Unsung
Do you see yourself inside your dream,
or chasing close behind
Is your love unquestioned, given free,
or bartered, contract signed
Are your lyrics empty without applause,
audience on the run
Will the future ransom a past still lost
—the moment left unsung
(Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2019)
