Now Is the Time

Now is the time for a visionary
  Where is that visionary

Now is the time for an initiator
  Where is that initiator

Now is the time for a steady hand
  Where is that steady hand

Now is the time for an extraordinary man
  Though ours may be doing the best he can

Usually the times make the hero(es). Not this time, however. At least, not yet. ~ gw

I think definitely this is all true; and now is the time for a vaccine that works.

We need some new leadership badly... And nothing's on the horizon... Oh, well. This crisis seems to be a DIY job. ~ Gershon
