No more heroesA Poem by Alexander143The doom awaiting us all
There comes a time when life is so
directionless that the back, like the front has no one left to do right. A time when it's as visibly pointless as a two-eyed niddle to fight. In a generation with no regard for brains or might. A time when none of our actions can reflect our future cuz it's not that bright. Soon, there will dawn a day when it's expensive to be cheap, even a bit. When your icon, that moral compas, shrinks, strays from the right and starts cursing. When we drop our morals like a bad habit- Because it kills us to keep living. In the day that you fail to make out the figure in the mirror, whom do you turn to? When the wall between right and wrong comes crumbling down, When you breathe pain for life, like you O2, When destiny steps on your head while you drown. Then you learn to live because you're not dead. You seek, but can't find cuz even death sends you best wishes. Like a rasta, the future, we dread, And everything's begining spells the time it finishes. That hero-less time could be another tall tale in my mind, But no, it's too real, too feasible. It's that lost moment that keepers fail to find, And when you open your eyes, it's more than just visible. It's easy to see what we want, And blind ourselves to the realities about which we don't care. Truth is, just because you can't- See something, doesn't mean that it's not there.
