Workers struggling to survive

Workers of the world
Many known to history
Known to a time
Known to a place
There are many more who are unknown
In a time
In a place
Workers of the world
Who stood-up
Who risked limb and life
Who suffered
Who perished
Who have been forgotten
In a time
In a place
No plaques mark the site of their last breath
No one raises a pint in their name
The entire planet is hallowed ground
Because of a few
So many have
Struggled
Suffered
Starved
Shed tears for long forgotten loved ones
Who were workers of the world
