Heroes

Spider-man and X-Men.

The complex characters that we see.

Saving their worlds from minor disasters.

Oh the joys of being free.

 

Trapped by the needs of others so needy.

And the praise they get in return?

A pat on the back or a slap in the face.

The death of the hero, simply begins to burn.

 

Batman and Ironman.

The billionaires beyond belief.

High class minds disguised in smart business suits.

Living their egos, their dreams, while hiding their grief.

 

People know there names by heart.

Knowing if in danger, they will come and save their life.

But simple as it sounds, we can never know the heroes path

One only goal they seem to want; ends in ****** strife.

 

The Flash and Green Lantern.

All our heroes come in different light.

Costume to powers and histories to pasts.

They soon end up consumed by endless fight.

 

Media creates the false hopes for people everywhere.

Chaos never-ending; the pain never seeming to cease.

Yet we're all struck with the tiniest of hope.

Uniting as one, we form our own release.

 

Captain America and Superman too.

Every hero has one thing they can share forever.

Its not so complex that people will never know, nor is a mystery of life.

Its simply, no matter who you are, you are a hero, holding people together.
