![]() Praise to the People!A Poem by martinos74![]() This poem was inspired by the people in the Channel 4 Unreported World series. People all over the world in times of trouble doing inspiring things![]() Praise to the people! Praise to the Doctor saving lives as barrels of terror are thrown down from above, Praise to the man fighting poverty with paper, as he removes another child from the jaws of a predator, Praise to the sportsman, who can't flee his country for fear of the pain he leaves for his Mother, Praise to the Mother looking for a home away from the beach, Praise to the lawyer, saving death row kids from the executioners bullet, Praise to the filmmakers, telling stories of hope, reality and truth, whilst they are tracked by the target of a snipers gun, Praise to the men wearing iron jackets and hats, as they speed to the scene on the next broken street to remove a wire from a phone, Praise to the cook, who keeps his doors open, despite the vile intrusion of an explosive stranger, It's a mad world full of wonderful people Praise to the people! ---------- Listen to the musical version at: https://soundcloud.com/martinos74/praise-to-the-people-with London, England, October 2013 ---------- © 2013 martinos74Featured Review
