Where are they, people of good heart,
compassionate, determined and wise;
the "walk through the fires of hell" people
who embrace humanity and the seed of good
and great that dwells within us all?
They seek neither praise nor glory;
you might never know their story.
Where are they, the big people,
the true and humble people?
They do not make the headlines;
confined by 15 second news bytes.
Their speech is measured,
textured and demands our attention,
demands that we listen; anything less,
however noisy and ill informed,
must surely fall short of our respect.
