Underlying Awesome

People are distinguished in two different categories

the immeasurably noticeable and the noiselessly unseen

those in the first - celebrated, unlike those in the latter

Nonetheless, each contribution does matter 

such unforeseen deeds shape our world

yet no one considers them "awesome" 

The Trashmen, Construction Workers, Farmers

without them - a world consumed with waste

no buildings no produce

however they receive no public thanks

no fame no glory, recognition or gratitude

no one applaudes their lackluster lives

But without such underlying awesome 

our world would be incommensurably different
