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
