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
