The Real Unsung Heroes

Sad to think that brave men and women are now serving time
In Countries where to speak against the government is seen as a crime
Such people are so brave as brave as can be
They have far more courage than not so brave me
For were i in their position i would dare not speak out
For my self preservation i would keep a shut mouth
Those who against oppressive regimes are prepared to speak their mind
Are most courageous people of the bravest kind
The people who speak out where silence is ruled by fear
Of their amazing courage we read of and hear
They speak against injustice though for them the cost is huge to pay
The real unsung heroes of the Human World of today
Unafraid to speak out despite the dire consequence
In Countries where free speech is a criminal offence.
