Heroes

Heroes fly
by plane and car.
They live in homes with families.
Costumes at the ready; capes to
soar with up high.
Fighting the injustice.

is that both are very afraid.
Neither wants to do what has to be done,
but the hero does it anyway.

Heroes die and duty calls
Martyrs are men who have lost it all
fighting senselessly in political brawls

Sentry sits alone,
Amid fallen heroes graves.
He was their symbol.

Quietly he sits.
It is fitting he keep watch,
For they gave their all.

Heroes

Those who love, do hide their tears, 
To keep it secret, they have fears.
They do it for who they love most,
To keep the world full of heroes.

Hence you don't see me everywhere

True Tragedy

True tragedy is not our death,
nor that our heroes low are laid.
It is that ev'n our tales of them,
are just as doomed to fall and fade.

Premium Member Of Knights and Spandex

The knights that in histories lurk,
They never wore spandex to work.
O’er heroes today
That dress in this way,
The dragons, they snort and they smirk.
