My Heroes

It shouldn't matter if you win or lose And it should only matter how you play the game Be fair to others and give all a fair go And never call another out of name. You are judged by your achievements and little else And I ask you what's achievement any way? For every winner thousands have to lose But so few judge you on the way you play. And what is success I am asking you? To such in different ways one can relate He or she work hard and always pay their way Can you not say that he or she is not great? . Can you not say that he or she are not as good As the billionaire that they helped to create But he's the one who gets your accolade And he's the one whose name you celebrate. The Politicians who bend and twist their words And expect us to believe all they say The Hollywood identities and the British royals We hear and read about them every day. The top Sports People who make sporting headlines Known millionaires vast fortunes they have made And yet some of them even have the cheek To say that they are grossly underpaid. And poor John down the road has to work hard Just to pay his bills and keep his family He may not have one dollar in a bank But he's a success would you not agree? . We read and hear about them every day The rich and famous and the greedy few But my heroes don't make the news headlines And my heroes seem ordinary to you.
