A hero – a man. Is it the father
I never had.
A distant brother, I have never known.
Model of virtue.The Guardian from darkness
when afraid. Alone.
A hero – a doer.Is it a history maker,
I read about. An ancient explorer. A distant
Moon – walker.
Member of secret society, chilly brother of power
Polished smooth talker.
A hero – a healer. Is it a Redeemer for famished
masses,
or faceless famine maker. Silent plaque carrier.
Carbon copy of his forefathers.
Inventor of sacrifice flowing through sorrows.
Purification dweller for better tomorrows.
A hero- the leader. Is it a shepherd of soulless
entities.
Protector of humanity. Preacher for justice.
A father to a little girl. A friend to a small boy.
Is he the caretaker of this world,
or this world to him is only an eternal toy.
