What is the city but the people? ~William Shakespeare
Our Grandfathers and their city of lights now sleep
For his children are now behind closed doors
But there are sons and there are daughters
That are out there doing so much more
They are knelt out in the thick of it
Healing sickness and easing a great loss
Doing what they can out there for others
No matter how great the cost
They are the true heroes of the cities
Out on the beat reaching out a mighty hand
Bravely facing danger and disease
To truly help out their fellow man.
Dedicated to the men and women out in the cities,
All the doctors, nurses, the police, grocery store and
pharmacy workers, mail carriers, amazon employees, restaurants workers providing
curbside service, and all the true heroes that are out there helping everyone
in communities all over the world.
Thank you!!!!!!
Added note on the image of Jack Kerouac:
He was considered a literary iconoclast and a
pioneer of the “Beat Generation”. I
find Jack’s life to be quite fascinating, but was moved most by the loss of his
brother Gerard who died at the mere age of nine to rheumatic fever. They say it had a deep impact on Jack’s life,
who would later say that Gerard followed him in life as his own guardian angel.
