Best Unsung Hero Poems

Vivid flashbacks from bloodshed battles
his soul still ravaged by devious dictators,
cries from fallen comrades still echo in his mind,
but he continues to walk upon a path of pandemonium. 

Reluctantly he ventures forward with
vengeance portrayed through embers
engulfed within his frenzied eyes -
reflecting his mother's irreversible tears.

He...

Unsung Hero – The Soldier

Warily he stood at the corner,
Wondering which way to turn.
A weary smile on his faded brow,
As he held out an old worn-out hat hoping for handouts,
A few miserly pennies or perhaps, even a piece of bread.

This once proud soldier,
Now reduced to...

Unsung Hero – My Mom


My Mom has always been unassuming, never flashy,
But her name deserves to be up in bright neon lights.
My magnificent Mom, Olegaria, is my hero!
In her eyes, no one is a zero,
And she is a blessing to all who crosses her path.
Successfully...

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...

I thought for a moment that 
he never felt the PAINS, 
When he beared the 
burden of our guilts and 
STAINS.
You can't imagine what he 
went THROUGH, 
for him to wipe away all of 
our sins THROUGH.
You can't imagine the 
whole of the SHAME, 
when...

A very loyal woman was Miep Jan Gies,
Brave, caring, and really very wise -
She was confident and daring - On her some lives depended
Now, following her story, so many minds have mended.

Dad you don’t have much time left in this world
Recently we sat and looked through yellowing photographs
Pictures I had never ever seen showing images from your past
Of places I have never visited, of faces I had never seen
One photograph in particular stunned me
It was a...

Unsung Hero
By: Sami LaRose

I do not lie, I do not deny that my Dad is the apple of my eye

The greatest man I have ever known to walk this earth, and do it alone

He'd beat down anyone for me just for giving me a harsh...

Here you silently rest unsung hero 
A granite stone on top of you
As a symbol of deference and dignity
With the words Rest in Peace.
	
Rest in peace indeed hero of mine!
You once walked amongst the living
Coming from a battle 
With aching wrists, stomach cramps and leaden...

Humpty Dumpty, it was not his real name,
    A nom de guerre that brought widespread fame.
    He played a court jester, amusing the king,
    To act the buffoon, and sometimes he'd sing.
    But...

Here he lies lifeless
He whose hands had many healed
though unsung by some

Now, we cheer him home
Down his homestead, we set him
Our selfless hero!

Pain is the pleasure 
of earthly patriotism...
Fame is for a time

Though the rose blossoms
on fields where good does not stay, 
it withers at...

Who am I to judge your instinctive desire,
To quench the passionate yearnings you require?
Freely, we placed our inhibition to the side,
Tangled up as one, why should you be crucified?

Such a glorious act, marred by double standard.
One’s perceived as a hero, the other is slandered.
I urge...
