HEROES

"I need to be heard.

I need to be heard because I have something to say."

Don't we all have something to say?

Some of us, though, feel that what we're saying is worth more. Worth being heard, or read, or seen.

We want to fight, to save people, to do what's "right".

We want to do that one great thing, make that brilliant contribution to humanity, feed others, feed ourselves.

We want to live forever.

And if we don't (because we can't), we want to leave something behind, for others to see, hear, read.

And the people of tomorrow will say, he did good. He did some good in this world.

We want to be heroes.
