We Need Heroes Our Youth Are Afraid

We need heroes (Our youth are afraid) By Michelle Morris 08/03/2023 We need heroes We need them every day We need them to live Not die as we pray Our youth are afraid And it's understandable We are not being leaders We are not being brave Those in power are short sighted They're looking at getting richer Making decisions from their egos Not considering anyone's future We need heroes We need them in every sphere Across the world we inhabit Across cultures and belief systems For true heroes are prepared to sacrifice They give everything for the greater good They put themselves on the line To save people and livelihoods We need to raise the bar We need to do what's right Make the tough decisions To save future lives © Michelle Morris, 2023
