What would I feel?

If I had a presentation
but no one showed up
I had money to give
but no one to receive it
My birthday just passed
and I was all alone
No one was there
when I was pushed down
They took me away
and no one said a word
I slaved till my death
no one even noticed

And in my presentation
I had a poem I wrote
It was full of life and joy
but it was burned away
The money I had
was all hard earned
But all they ever said
was that I stole it
It was my birthday
when they put up the posters
They warned to stay away
from people like me
I was confused and awed
that they viewed me as a threat
A patriotic citizen
but they locked me away
I was sent to a camp
and did as I was told
They said I was serving my country
when they kicked me to the floor

But none of that has happened
at least just not yet
I just wonder what I'd feel
if no one stood up
