Sonnet 13 Ground Zero Thought

The thought process of people starts at ground zero. Being born to people the level of knowledge varies. Is it possible for a person with so little ascribed status to achieve the status of a hero? This level will depend on the person's desire. Would the person like to be a clown? Would the person want the textbook? Would they like to make the world frown? Would they instead take their life to improve upon their look? Heroes are born out of strife and desperation. Platinum and golden lives are the mere slaves to which the commoner gawks! Looking at false artistic beauty and the beauty of a false member of Club 700 is not desperation. It is the false credits of lies that these members take to our heads with a bat! A zero to hero is easy when the person adds more to their achievements! It is destroyed when the person looks at their life with bereavement!

Interesting write, Aaron! One must be more than skin deep and must be tested by time.
