Many have been wounded on the <br />battlefield of life. Wounded, in <br />their homes, streets and back <br />alleys of social interaction. <br /> <br />In the battle to survive, are there <br />more formidable enemies, than <br />grief, loneliness, illness, poverty, <br />and lost love? <br /> <br />So many, although seemingly <br />defeated, by an army of foes, <br />to opposition of life and living, <br />they fight...go on. <br /> <br />Countless millions, are wounded by <br />emotional bullets...lethal grenades <br />of death, taking a loved one... and the <br />machine gun fire, of cancer and <br />other devastating diseases. <br /> <br />Yet, with a courage that can not be <br />measured, these unsung heroes <br />..go on. <br /> <br />Let there be a Congressional Medal <br />Of Honor, for life, for those unsung <br />heroes and their unyielding courage. Let <br />them know, in their time of need, <br />we shall provide them with, they emotional <br />medicine and care they require. <br />Love, compassion and understanding. <br /> <br />The next time, the word 'hero' is spoken, <br />look around, for on the battlefield of <br />life, there are millions, 'of unsung hero. <br /> <br /> <br />© Joe Fazio<br /><br />(brief renderings) Joe Fazio<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/called-them-heros/
