Cowardice and Heroism,
both share one thing in common.
The coward and the hero are both very much afraid.
Neither wants to do what needs to be done,
but the hero just happens to do it anyway....

Chloe
CHLOE

Chloe chastised chauvinism
Hating hypocrites of opposing gender
Liberating her limitless femininity
Obsessively opposing male nuances
Emotively enticing heroism

Heroism
Some do it for recognition;
Some do it without hesitation.
Anybody can serve,
one does not need to have power.
Sometimes, the rats even have more nerve 
where the tigers cower.

Journey
A cross between insanity and complacency 
An ounce of heroism drowned by the tears of depression
The moment has no meaning in the eyes of the audience 
Each line is forgotten, even though rehearsal is mandatory 
The long haul never seemed so strenuous...

Eagle On A Limb

The faraway gaze
of an eagle on a limb
is mesmerizing.

Premium Member Depressed
Deliver the speech to avoid an explosion
Depress animosities rightful emotions
Decapitate that which would delay our cause
Desire the path made by the Lord
Disable powers to fight and defraud
Deposit the heroism that history records
Deserve the gifts of obediences reward...

Violence
Violence is an anger-loaded wagon
Inventing new man as a rodent
Often the violent acts like a beast
Lost victim’s dignity rests in garbage bin
Ego swells and explodes as bomb
Normal reason locked in cupboards
Conquest and destruction a game
Evacuation of humanity is heroism...

A TRUE HERO

KNOWS 
THEY ARE GOING TO DIE 
TOMORROW
AND THEIR LOVED ONES 
AND OTHERS

AND 
THAT  SOME 
MAY HAVE A LONG LIFE 
OF SUFFERING 
AND PAIN

AND YET
THEY LIVE 
EVERY MOMENT 
IN THE PRESENT
TO THE FULLEST 

WITH 
NO FEAR
NO COMPROMISE
NO ANGER 
AND NO REGRETS

ONLY 
LOVE 
COMPASSION
AND 
HEROISM...

The End of the Age of Heroism
Whiteness on leaves
blood in threes
warriors and companions lie in the dirt

i heard a story
about men and glory
but no words could ever bring them back

i hear their song
for their deeds i long
but armor rusts over the years

no mantles to praise
no spirits to raise
the age of heroism has ended...

Burlesque Creature Definition
Verbose word
among deaf...
brilliant gesticulator
among blind...
wobbly loser
in lonely races,
  harmless digger
from the deep void...
you have a fast hand
inside the fatal night,
you have a fleeting gesture
and an atrocious glow...!
you have no heroism
in the nameless pallor
of all your acts... !...
