Looking For a Hero

Look closely You can see the shadow of the sun Hiding behind the moon The world seems out of focus Listen to the wind Singing through the trees As it plays an untimely tune People everywhere falling apart And breathing out decline Desperately searching for a rescue sign Super heroes are made mortal While standing in the unemployment line Unanswered tears from heaven Pollute the atmosphere People praying for miracles But unwiling to change Because of discomfort and fear Stop looking for a Hero To pop out of someones suitcase We need to learn to embrace The people who can change the world The one you see in the mirror The familiar face

Such a good poem...you write very well. Very truthful...about changing the world yourself rather than waiting for someone else to do it for you. Agree with Gail- you do have a way with words!
