The Heroes Are Coming

I know that everyone is searching for heroes right now. That may or may not happen, but what I do know is that you won't find him lounging under a tree, proselytizing along a beach or speaking from the top of a mountain. Most likely she will be a Mother Teresa, covered in dirt and blood caring for the sick, starving and ill. Or he will be Martin Luther King, going house to house banging on doors to get the word to lead a celebration of freedom in the street. He could be another Che Guevara, leading the farmers in the fields away from the slavery and squalor they have known to better pay, better conditions and a chance at a decent life. Most likely, the heroes that do come, won't be recognized by us, because they wil be dirty, sweaty, and bloody from helping others. And when one of these true heroes asks for your help, what will you say?
