THEY won’t make forbes’ list
or the cover of vogue.
THEY won’t sink buzzer-beaters
on sports center and fox news.
THEY won’t ink bank-breaking deals
with nike
for custom shoes
like mike.
THEY won’t sail the pacific
in the history supreme
like a mighty malaysian tycoon
with billions to splurge
on luxury yachts
and lamborghinis.
THEY won’t have brass stars
on hollywood’s walk of fame
or win academy awards
like halle and jack…

but in your hour of need

THEY will be there,
masked, gloved and ready
to deliver the best medical care
money can’t buy
and stem a tidal wave of tragedy

that we might thrive
again.

ayo!
