This book is dedicated to all unsung heroes and heroines

 

In memory of all unsung heroes and heroines

 

They are not the type of people historians do recall

And their names will never be inscribed on any memorial wall

The women and men who work hard and live in an honest way

It can be truly said of them that they earn their every pay

The builders of communities the backbone of every town

One never can say of them that they do leave the Country down

They remain the unsung heroes and heroines and it does seem sad to say

That for their contributions to society for them never a loud hip hooray

Memories of their contributions to humanity should never be allowed to fade

Though to thank them for their efforts never a street parade

Like their ancestors, before them, the survival of humanity on them does depend

The financial economies of the World than them does not have a better friend

The few billionaires out of the hard work of working people accumulate most of their financial gain

Whilst the hard-working men and women of the World as the unsung do remain.
