Heroes Poems

Premium MemberOur Time to be Heroes

As the fires burn up our forests
and the deadly floods ravage our earth
All the traitors inside of the WH
give America new fascist birth

Our brothers and sisters patrol us
with the weapons of war that we made
As the songs they once sang about honor
about freedom and liberty, fade

They are building an army against us
search for people of

Premium MemberFor The Unsung Heroes

Nationals you are the same
Whatever nation you relate to
You're caught up in the old game
Of some national breakthrough
The most independent sources 
Tell you what you need to learn
Privileged with self-importance
You count every cent you earn
Tell me propaganda stories
Tired generalizations
Pose a show-off with no worries 
Though you are a worried nation
That’s your special way to go
Just

World's number one and two in batting's Who's Who

Yorkshire’s blessed treasure chest best take their Test berth as they surf the crest out on the hallowed turf

The self anointed..God’s own country..didn’t rest..hasn’t disappointed..simple ploy

Plucky…lucky to be an envoy that still has the joy..zest of a boy

The honed treacle toned timbre of their timber toy


Well when you’ve researched the top of the queue in

Babbling Brook or Dirty Harry

Although the barmy army might suggest this almighty Blighty Test best..is more like an umami tsunami..

Remember Our Heroes

Soldiers in all military
Sacrifice for you and me
Risking their lives for our own
These heroes need to be shown
We won't forget all they've done
Every daughter every son
That is here or passed away
Is remembered every day

Premium MemberTHE REAL HEROES THAT DAY

May we be blessed to understand what a hero is…
when it comes to our dominion
because in our country at this moment there is a difference of opinion…

I believe the Capitol police who died defending our Capitol 
and safeguarding our freedom January 6 were heroes…
To uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States 
and the

Our hero on epitaph

our mouth owes a debt to your buried bones
a hot lead cracked in a jiffy,
  and your brain splashed~
    in the thick forest of Hanoi,
  with the stains sucked by soil
    as a flow thicker than water.
many blood stains on our flags
made too heavy for the wind

Heroes Of Our Country

As the sun rises to greet the new day,
The nation prepares to honor those souls who sacrificed
 The ultimate price for their country.
Each one of them silently standing tall, proud and free, 
They paid the ultimate price for you and me .
From those early days when a young group of states
Bravely  fought against England's

WE ARE ONE

WE ARE ONE


We march towards beckoning stars
tears, sweat, scars across bars 
heralding heroes gone not forgotten 
paving ways with courageous bones
we are One Love sown 

Fortune, fame, pearls are not
ingredients in stewed freedom pots
Truth beckons a timbre away 
chortling cherub cheer holding sway 
cession chains fall heavy everyday 

Open dark windows of shame 
tigers tranquil

Premium MemberRemembering The Fallen Heroes

I was only about four years old when I saw my mother crying
Two soldiers at our front door said something about him dying
When they left mom took me to one side and she said to me
"Daddy's never coming home" I said "Mom, why isn't he"?.

That afternoon all our relatives came to our house to see

Heroes

Real heroes aren’t fearless,
They’re brave enough to face their fears,
And the real ones aren’t emotionless,
They are the ones who shed tears.
Real heroes don’t have crowds around them,
They are usually the most ignored,
And they’re the ones who've been heartbroken the most,
Not the ones that are the most adored.
Real heroes aren’t the ones that move the mountains,
They’re

We hope they all know who they are

Premium MemberHEROES AND MONSTERS

When we were young there were heroes and there were monsters
and in our innocent and limited childhood view…
from Fairy Tales and with our parents help
it was easy to tell the difference between the two.

In the evening when we woke from a nightmare and our hearts were filled with dread….
our heroes were our parents who vanquished
