Thank you, administrators, for the accolade and your hard work.
Ordinary Man
Famous fallen heroes are fighters,
Soldiers, warriors who’ve fought
For home, community, country and brought
Pride into hearts of family and trooper,
But the unsung heroes are those
Who fight without the need for accolades
That instill an extrinsic need that hides
Their true purpose: fame that’s close
To worship, while the ordinary man
…
…
Laws created to keep the world Civilizing
And lauding humanity’s restraint put in a guild
Cage, like an exotic animal, seen
But never heard, in a prison where bars
Isolate him, with his PTSD, like any warriors,
Who’ve delt in monstrous murder, that’s keen.
