Ode to the Unsung Hero

I salute the devotee of his craft
who diligently pursued perfection
with no recognition
but remained true to himself
and trudged along but lost 
to the dynamics of politics and the bottom line
He was not in his time and space 
of Fame

I lift my glass to her , the Fool
who trusted them with her better idea
only to lose it anyway
but remained true to herself
she knew not how to play
the devious Game.

To the saints unselfish
who cared for humankind 
but were overshadowed
by fanatics religious, emirs and kings
Heaven was not theirs
to Claim

The writer not read
and the artist well dead
the writers of music
and the musicians who longed
to play their songs
and share in their glory
but not to be.

So let us applaud them  loudly
 they remained true to themselves
let them bask in the sunshine
if for only a brief time
or at least  until
the sun goes down.
