In the hushed corners of history's tome,
Lies tales untold, voices left alone.
Forgotten whispers, in the shadows they stay,
Longing for recognition, a brighter day.
In the dusty annals where ink meets the page,
Unseen narratives of a bygone age.
A chorus of echoes, unheard and cold,
Their stories linger, waiting to be told.
In a time long past, where the sun met the sea,
A sailor set sail, yearning to be free.
Yet, in the tales of conquest and glory,
The voice of the shipwright remains a buried story.
His hands shaped vessels that danced with the tide,
Yet, his tale drowned in the ocean's vast stride.
In the ship's creaks and the seagull's cry,
Whispers of the shipwright refuse to die.
Voices in the shadows, stories unfold,
In the annals of silence, their tales are told.
Marginalized narratives, forgotten and grand,
In the tapestry of history, they demand.
Beneath the empires, where power held sway,
A silent artisan toiled, weaving night and day.
Threads of silk, dreams stitched in seams,
Yet, the weaver's tale is lost in the grand schemes.
In palaces adorned with opulent grace,
The weaver's fingers created a delicate embrace.
Yet, in the courtly echoes, where power was heard,
The weaver's whispers were left unheard.
Voices in the shadows, stories unfold,
In the annals of silence, their tales are told.
Marginalized narratives, forgotten and grand,
In the tapestry of history, they demand.
In the crowded market of ancient bazaars,
A merchant traded beneath the countless stars.
Silk and spice, treasures from afar,
Yet, in the merchant's ledger, an obscured memoir.
Caravans journeyed through deserts wide,
As the merchant dreamed with arms spread wide.
Yet, in the marketplace's frenzied score,
The merchant's voice was heard no more.
In the fields where cotton whispered in the breeze,
A laborer toiled, knees on the earth's crease.
Sweat and tears watered the soil,
Yet, in the master's gaze, a life of turmoil.
Cotton bolls yielded a fabric fair,
Yet, the laborer's hopes hung in the air.
In the hymns of the harvest, a muted song,
The laborer's lament, unheard for too long.
Voices in the shadows, stories unfold,
In the annals of silence, their tales are told.
Marginalized narratives, forgotten and grand,
In the tapestry of history, they demand.
Through revolutions and wars that shook the earth,
A nurse tended wounds, proving her worth.
In the crimson fields where life and death entwined,
The nurse's story, a gem enshrined.
In the nurse's hands, healing did bloom,
Yet, in history's chambers, a silent tomb.
In the echoes of battles, where cannons roared,
The nurse's whispers were swiftly ignored.
In the heart of the city, where towers ascend,
A janitor swept, unnoticed friend.
Mopping floors and wiping each pane,
Yet, in the city's saga, his role was in vain.
A custodian of spaces, both grand and small,
Yet, in the city's narrative, he stood so small.
In the corridors of power, where decisions are stirred,
The janitor's echoes were never heard.
Voices in the shadows, stories unfold,
In the annals of silence, their tales are told.
Marginalized narratives, forgotten and grand,
In the tapestry of history, they demand.
In the hidden alleys of time's grand design,
Echoes linger, a chorus divine.
Whispers of the forgotten, voices so clear,
In the tapestry of history, demanding to reappear.
So, let us listen to the tales untold,
To the voices in the shadows, brave and bold.
For in the mosaic of history, every thread,
Each overlooked voice, demands to be said.
