We are not heroes.
We are just people,
trying to survive.
You and I,
are not equals.
You work from home
while I...
I work to ensure
that I get to keep mine.
They call us essential,
because we provide
all the food and the things
that help keep you alive.
But I am resentful
that I don't get to decide,
What is more worthy,
my labor or life?
So don't call me a hero.
I am simply doing
what has to be done.
Don't call me a hero,
unless you plan to treat
and pay me like one.

I know God ,
love and nothing else
And that’s enough for me.
In a world of temptation and weakness
It takes a strong man or woman
To give all his love
To one man , one woman or one person.
This life is brief
We just don’t know where we’re going to find Ourselves tomorrow,
Why not be faithful and kind
To the one who loves you best ?
But the weak hearted man
Is he story of many men
And the weak hearted woman is the story
Of many women.

But the sad thing is
The solution is simple
