No Heroes
There are no heroes
Just people ,gods and the devil
There are no heroes
David couldn’t resist peeping
Moses couldn’t stop running
And Obama really did start ISIS
He got a nobel for peace
There are no heroes
Just choices, decisions and errors
There are no heroes
Batman benefits from the status quo
The equivalent of many NGO,s
Their business is helping the poor
How can poverty be evil
It provides the opportunity to help
Jesus Christ lost faith
God became an atheist
Eli Eli Lama Sabachthani
Lazarus had to die a second time
And Gandhi really did hate black people
There are no heroes
Just People, opportunities and chances
There no heroes
Solomon really loved the soft life
Jacob was a thief and a cheat
The whole of the Old Testament
Is justified Genocide
History is mostly stories of people dying
And My father broke my heart
There are no heroes
There are no saints
Just people
Just people doing their best
And good branding doing the rest
So don’t Judge lest history judges you
Don’t proclaim you are good
The other side cannot agree
Do your best
It is all there is to do
Always do it with love
That is how you know its good
Unless you are Hitler
Unless you are Leopold
Or Herod
Or Stalin
Or Mao
Or Karen
Or Ken
Or any human being distressed, obsessed, possessed
By The religion of their state, their tribes and their race
There are really no heroes
Just people, gods and the devil
