What The Comic Books Don't Tell YouA Poem by Aurora .I. I wrote this on the train today!
Crash. Bang. Pow
I know the image in your head Crash. Bang. Pow It's like those comic books you read as a kid Crash Bang. Pow The villain is loosing. The hero is winning Crash. Bang. Pow The villain is fleeing. The hero is grinning Crash. Bang. Pow But what the comic books don't tell you Crash. Bang. Pow Is that your hero doesn't always win Sometimes it's the villain who gets the last grin Sometimes your hero gets pushed to the ground Punched, kicked, thrown out of town A lot of the time their lost They don't know what to do Who to save first- Me or you? They carry the weight of the world with just one shoulder It crushes them like a boulder Though it never shows Because everyone's wanting answers Everyone looking to them like some kind of pastor Waiting reflect their next disaster Everyone looking for some kind of help Trying to look for rain in the drought Not stopping to think for a second That maybe their hero needs help We give them such weight to bare How can they not begin to tare? Is it because they seemingly don't care? Is that why we push them so and think that it's fair? I suppose it's true what they say We humans are as selfish as can be. Constantly only focused on our self misery Not looking at our saviors With a smile, a glance- some kind of respect Only put them down And leave them alone to fend In this- I'd like to point out the irony That we praise people we do not see People whom we only know from TV People who've never said a single thing People who don't even know you as a human being People who sit in mansions, tucked away Spending their wealth on mostly useless things We worship these people, who we never see Yet we scream at the people who we see everyday The people who do everything in their power so that we can be The irony, you see Is quite amusing to me We kick down our hero's Because to us, their just an everyday thing Completely looking past everything that could be If they weren't here for you and me How loving How thoughtful How utterly spiteful So now, you see What the comic books don't tell you Is that our hero is here everyday Through absolutely everything Every smile Every tear Every scream Every laugh But we take them for just everyday things Oh and lastly- Our hero's worst enemy Is you and me © 2012 Aurora .I.Author's Note
