The heroes of the masses they live for their renown <br />And the masses create their heroes and then drag their heroes down <br />And the masses are unpredictable they change from day to day <br />And some of their heroes like the Autumn flowers are quick to fade away. <br /> <br />Yet there are millions of unsung heroes and they live on every street <br />And every day a hero I feel privileged to meet <br />True heroes male and female yet by the masses unsung <br />The World is full of heroes of heroes old and young. <br /> <br />Some heroes of the masses are arrogant and proud <br />And their egos over-swollen from the adulation of the crowd <br />But give me the unsung heroes who go their own quiet way <br />Who out of the kindness of their hearts perform one good deed every day. <br /> <br />Many heroes of the masses are not heroes to me <br />Though every day I walk the street some true hero I do see <br />Your hero is chauffeur driven and drinks the most expensive wine <br />And you can have your hero but your hero isn't mine.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/your-hero-2/
