With campaigns established, accolades accomplished
An honourable life, taken to the max
Championed feats, of no small measure, a nation can treasure
Matters addressed with proficiency, the shaping of an era – equality
Realization of rights, project legacy, impacting a wider community
Raise the bar, unsettled below, challenging the status quo
Battles fought with justice sought, of leadership, seeking to serve
When forces merge, mark the campaign
The present cannot remain the same
Confinement release, establishing peace, break the borders
Let indifference cease, a fight for freedom, oh justice prevail
Of strategic systems – show society, with due propriety
Of political accountability, the epitome of civility
Accrued insight of human rights, to lobby, to lead
With fairness proceed
Catalyst creation, positive change, expansion of range
Of non discrimination, heroic determination
A valuable service to the vulnerable
Outreach outstanding, by example lead
Contributed equation, to influence a nation
Of historical significance
Sheerly profound
With relevant reverence
A shining light of difference
