An Unmarked Grave

Is it a male or a female in the unmarked grave One who died in shame or one who died brave Or one who did not have a family or friend Lets hope he or she did not have a bad end? On the unmarked grave only rank weeds do grow And who was this person does anyone know? 'Tis as if his or her life to nothing did amount As if he or she as a person did not count Anonymity in life as in death much the same No one comes to tend the grave without a name On the unmarked grave the weeds grow rank and wild The person who lay there once some mother's child To honour his or her memory not even a rose Inequality is in death as in life i suppose.
