Maxi Hayles

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
