Small matter what great deeds men do
With actions witnessed by the few
Who dying fall by roadside bend
Await the words of passing friend
Or stranger who without a cause
Did notice and took time to pause
And comment in a feeling way
About what happened on that day
And that is how the story grows
Turning lads into folk heroes !
The world is drowning in distress
I know you’ve heard it’s S. O. S.
Their cries get lost in foolish things
Like selfishness vain glory brings
While on their lips all stained with lies
These wanton ones, Gods will defies
They carry on with true remiss
There seems no way we can dismiss
Horrendous waste that they sustain
Until we’ve learned to trust our brain !
