UNRECOGNIZED
Neglected are the greatest
Celebrated are the weakest
Life is short, take no breath
for granted
The unhindered icons,
that kneel not for fortune,
who whorship'd
only humanity
and humility
Fought tooth and nail
for life of equality
Less known in future society
Less celebrated in future society
Life lost for nothing, unrecognized
