Salute to the meritorious
Possessors of true creative originality
In this time of rampant A.I criminality
Putters-in-of-10,000 hours of practice
Diligent masters of trade and craft
Always-on-call Administrators, Entrepreneurs and Networkers
Always mumbling, makers-of-art
Methodical Mathematicians
Mad Scientists and
Preternaturally calm Professors
Poets, Pianists and Percussionists
Huge-hearted Philanthropists
Dreamers and Do-ers
Visionaries and Lumineers
People who see beyond the pale
And definitively push the needle
On the turntable of history
Like no one else can
Or no one else wants to
Salute!
