BEAUTIFUL, PRICELESS AND FORGOTTEN
I will not be enamored
with anyone, or anything or give credence
to those who reign over the popular arena.
Let me stand with authentic people,
living real lives.
those who toil in the dust and dirt
so others may pursue thier
dreams.
Lord let me dwell with those
that rise at the crack of dawn,
arrive on time without fanfare,
doing the mindless, mundane things.
Not only to make a living,
but to make a way for the world to prosper.
Let me dine at the table of those who sacrifice
thier pride and entitlement, wrap it in wax paper
and brown bags calling it lunch.
Let me be the first to season it with salty tears of graditude
As evening falls I shall lie down with those who
in exhaustion, soreness, surrender to a fitful rest.
Worried they have not done enough and can not do more.
Let me love them as brothers and friends.
accrediting them as beautiful and priceless.
Thier mighty dignity is wrought through dirtied hands, weathered faces, wounded and broken hearts.
These are those You, Lord love with a fervent love.
These are those who I hold in the highest esteem as I
cry out in exuberant voice “These are my heroes, beautiful, priceless and forgotten. Remember them!”
After I had an artwork removed (not this site) because they felt it was in violation of publicity rights of the celebrity that it featured. I had a conversation with a fellow artist who had had the same problem she asked,"How are we to express our awe and admiration of. someone in the public eye? And I thought that it was time to take another look at who are heros are. Bring them into the public light.
