Another Name
Another name is added to the ongoing list
authors, actors, visionaries, advocates of change galore
now, passed on to the obits of evermore.
Too many from my youth and younger ways
found the cause and time to mark your days
with dreams and wishes, seeking changes on parade.
Today, the less well known
seem to cater to kings and dictators on a throne
with the masses bent and adoration prone.
World Wars and police skirmishes
sought to imprison those who resist
and a generation's senses awaken and with fires burn.
History repeats itself until we learn
freedom reigns free only if we earned
the humanity for which we yearn.
