Heroes Poem by Siu Lun Tsui

Heroes



A sleeping monster woke up in the Dark Continent

This invisible demon evolved near the Ebola River
It multiplies and consumes lives without a mercy
Victims are gradually melted away and pass it onto their beloved ones
It is still hard to find a magic bullet to destroy this killer
Remaining people are helpless and living in despair...

A group of courageous men and women, living thousands of miles away
They made a noble decision, despite their beloved ones' admonish on their next expedition
Missioned to help peoples there to fight the horrible killer, these angels promptly pack up, board the planes heading towards the Dark Continent Disregard the fact that they are equally vulnerable and frightened

I admire and salute to these heroes and, heartedly wish their success and safe return to their beloved families!
