A Hero

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.
