Truth Behind Legend

There is some truth behind every legend.... Right?

There is truth behind every legend

         There is hope behind strength

Every hero relies on something

 

For Hercules it was his strength

         For King Arthur it was his Knowledge

For Robin Hood it was his inuition and cunning

 

Where did these legends come from?

        There has to be some truth

Right?

 

Maybe there was a guy who was strong and brave

         Maybe there was an ancient king whose name got intwined in myth

Maybe there really was somebody who stole from the rich

 

There is truth behind every legend

           There is hope behind strength

Every Hero relies on something

 

So why can't we?

Urm...
Now you'd made me wonder even more whether those guys exist or not...
I don't even believe in their existence at all...
Thanks to this poem, I started to wonder...
Clever...

NIce point eloquently stated, and well taken. I liked this, the repeating stanzas added heft. Nice work.

[My Fair Lady]

I liked this perspective. I find your choice of legends interesting and I liked how you chose the "strong and brave" Nicely done

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Behind every legend is a faith in the power of humanity and that is what I believe keeps these legends going whether true or not... a very intelligent and creative piece.
