What It Takes to Make a Change

Heroes seldom plan What to do when chaos strikes; Courage does not come In such mannered spurts and spikes. Evil sits and waits To attack when all is calm. Scattered are the sheep When the wolves evoke such qualm. Heroes simply leap When their instincts call to fight. Heroes do what’s good, Even when good’s not in sight. Heroes are not born, They are burned and purged by fire. Villains likewise burn, But are hardened to conspire. We’d be heroes too If our hearts would rearrange, Motives that prevent What it takes to make a change.
