By Timothy Hutchinson
We need a new word.
A word for the quiet people,
the unsung people,
that do the right thing,
the difficult thing,
the in the muck and abhorrent thing,
the stand up thing,
the thing that makes society better,
the I love this much thing,
the selfless thing,
the kind thing,
the reach up and grab the long arc of
history thing and
bend it even slightly towards justice.
