Hosannas to protestors of the plight of the masses, <br /> To researchers who try to salve our suffering. <br /> To keepers of the peace, <br /> To resisters of hate and wrongful actions, <br /> To kindlers of faith and learning. <br /> <br /> Hallelujahs to clear sane minds, <br /> To harbingers of health, cheer and laughter, <br /> To givers of understanding compassion, love, <br /> To creators and inventors, <br /> To the courageous who brave the unknown. <br /> <br /> We are rich with the balm of companionship, <br /> With the yield of the earth and the beauty thereof, <br /> We are blessed with the brilliance and spiritual goodness in man. <br /> We are the doers and the indebted.<br /><br />Florence Wiener<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-the-indebted/
