Wintessa De Guzman Poet Free verse

Modern Heroes

I know a hero
A part  of the modern one
He does heroic deeds
but praised by none

Boarding that plane
with tears in his eyes
hoping not to leave
hoping to survive

Enslave by others
hardwork beyond imagining
Blood and sweat pouring
baring pain, teeth grinding

He cried each night
resisting loneliness and fright
forgetting himself fully
denying sentiments and rights

Immeasurable is his bravery
in a battle alone he fights
In foreign land nowhere to find
for the future of his wife and child
