HERE’S TO THE UNDERDOG

Beneath the Spin * Eric L. Wattree

.
TO THE
HARD WORKING AND COURAGEOUS
MEN AND WOMEN OF LITTLE CLOUT
WHOSE COLLECTIVE EFFORTS BUILT
AND DEFINES THE CHARACTER  
OF THIS GREAT NATION
*
HERE’S TO THE UNDERDOG
.
Here's
to the magnificent underdog,
majestic--just look at that face;
who struggle each mile, yet, manages a smile,
while the powerful spits in his face.
.
Yes,
a toast!
To the illustrious underdog,
whose courage holds chaos at bay;
for the unshakable steel, which makes up his will,
to stand-up through yet one more day.
.
Let’s hear
a cheer!
For the tireless underdog.
His heart firmly girdered in place;
who finds just enough to survive when life's tough,
while the "powerful" stands in disgrace.
.
Let us
cherish
the heroic underdog,
who walks water routinely each day;
who braves lion Jaws and shun all applause,
then quietly goes on his way.
.
