Author's Note

The reason why I speak out like that is because all of those "fake heroes" and "hero wannabes" have been doing nothing, but pissing me off. If you think I'm wrong about the "heroes", please, do let me know.

Interesting...and very similar to my thoughts on the subject of 'heroes'....to me heroes are the ones who do good things and don't realize they are heroes...the ones who don't even think to 'No, I see myself as hero' while putting on a fake smile...if you get my drift...

I'm new here...hope you don't me poping in...

I like your perspective here

Nice. I love this one. It addresses an actual affliction to our society. I too am tired as all hell of the world telling me who my heroes are, who to admire and respect. F**k that. We do live in an age where all real heroes who tried to fight for truth and love are dead. Look at Lennon, not that I particularly like the guy, but his whole stance was to get us all to live together in peace, and sure enough, he got shot. I kind of like the line from The Dark Night, though I'm sure that wasn't an original quote, "You either die a hero, or live long enough to become the villain." Very much truth in that statement. Excellent poem, that makes one truly think, especially with the final line, asking "who are your heroes?"

This was an interesting view on heroes. Your opinion on what heroes are is different, but that doesn't make it wrong. My heroes are each of the members of my family. They each inspire me in a different way. I like this! Great job!
