A Social Reformer's point of view

Ordinary Citizens

Ordinary Citizens! Thank you again
Ordinary Citizens! Again thank you!
And thank you again, ordinary citizens
Ordinary Citizen! Thank you again for your courage
Ordinary Citizens! You are getting the job done
Ordinary Citizen! You are doing it straight from the hearts; and that's what really makes the difference.
Ordinary Citizens! You have no access to a direct feed from satellites to an air-conditioned office.
Ordinary Citizen! You don't go cruising around in fancy SUV, nor have an access to night vision surveillance devices, yet you get the job done.
Ordinary Citizen! You have no budget of several millions of dollars, yet your commitment to protect the homeland is unwavering.
Ordinary Citizens! I salute you with great honors.
Ordinary Citizen! You are doing the job of "non-ordinary citizens" and you are doing so without a fat paycheck, and yet nobody escapes your sight, as you did not fell asleep in front of that monitoring screen.
Ordinary Citizens! I salute you for a job well done.
Ordinary Citizens! You are my hero.
Ordinary Citizens! feel free to criticize, exercise your freedom of speech. Once upon a time I was told that if one lean against a tree, and such could not sustain your weight, if such fell upon you, could never do you any harm.
Thank you ordinary citizen! You are my hero, and I guess that you are not "ordinary" after all.
