Heroes

Heroes ~~~~~~~ Formerly and falsely believed thy cause already lost Then that was how the myopic simple minds Viewed a cause so noble and selfless The hero could only prove him or herself in one way The loss of precious life, and in death They gained status in martyrdom Now the masses are appeased, sacrificed for ideals And the comfort of those who could really care less That's the low road the easy way out Remember how quickly a spotlight fades In truth the real hero knows this The brightest of stars are slow to rise, Thus it's folly to sell yourself dearly And not wisely
