I pay homage to the late and great creatives and innovators who stamped their name on their creations those who left an impression those who set fire and aspired self expression regardless of the times those too rebellious to be quiet who refused to be silent in the face of violent consequences I pay homage to the brave victims of a depraved power structure I pledge my allegiance to the fallen soldiers who fell on the nail of betrayal fighting the same war over and over let these words not fall on deaf ears "their still here"
