Names In History

It seemed so long ago from those high school scenes, when we were young and filled with unimaginable dreams then again, maybe it was just yesterday still today ready for life to start and take us fast forward away. Paging thru the years, the well planned themes and soon forgotten reality is swept by swift moving streams blended in the trials and labors each of us has made of lives merged to find escape in lessons well paid. How is it time moves by so fast when every hope and dream doesn't seem to last? The heartbeat of those dreamers of this earth straining forward to succeed or fail by individual worth beat on, strong and steady, ever ready while time and history engraved the names into confetti. A mark, a note, surely something shall remain though others know not who we were nor recall our name when time has passed and we each succumb they see we marched well to the beat of humanity's drum. Rest you fallen souls who once gave all you are not deprived of fame and fortune's call to your families, descendants and the like is legacy of freedom and basic right. Your name may be forgotten, lost, unrecognized but the battle won moves forward ever alive recorded in the history books with freedom everywhere you look.
