"heros" poems
Heroes and villains seem harder to define when somethings happen to blur the lines The villain style of justice may appear better than no justice at all When the system fails the victim and makes the victim feel so small Where are the Heros when evil abounds? Are they still around? Who fights for truth and justice throughout the land? Who is brave enough to take a stand? Remember heroes often are easily disguised as ordinary people and don't stand out in a crowd Their anonymity allows them to work behind the scenes they effectively crush the evil villains dreams. The Heros tirelessly fight for truth and justice and selflessly care for others in need. They support and encourage those that the villains of this world have knocked down. The villains can too easily be found courtesy of our television screen they often make a showing on the 6 or 10 o clock news they are promoting violence they don't care about anyone else's views. As far as Heros go you may discover that a Heros heart is contained inside of You. Hero or Villain? The choice is yours Today you could take a stand to right some societal wrong Today you can be strong and be a Hero to a friend or loved one or a stranger in need. To them can make a difference indeed. Hero's Traits: H elping E ncouraging R espectful O pportunity Perhaps these traits are within you Be the Hero that you long to see!

Heroes & Villains
On this day 70 years ago they stormed across the sand Boys of many nations to remove the tyrants hand Heros all those boys so young who shed their blood for us In that ****** fight for freedom Across the sand they struggled neath a hail of shot and shell Never glancing backwards as around them comrades fell Fear was in their eyes, terror in their hearts Many never made it and twas on foreign sand they died Yes they died to give us the freedom that we have got this day They died to free the world, for us they made the play Boys from ever walk of life crossed the beaches there Office clerks and farmers and the ones who cut our hair Yes they were heroes all who gave their lives for us But lets not forget the few who made it possible The girls who made the shells, the men who built the tanks They were the unsung heroes They have also have earned our thanks Without their dedication to the task they had in hand Many more would have lost their lives on that shell torn blood stained sand They to can hold their heads up high, they knew they did their bit In bringing freedom to the masses when they broke the tyrants grip

And all your heros are gone, but you refuse to take off the mask. A loudmouth, a capitalist, with greasy hair and a golden toothpick, he is your enemy he is your oppressor and he sits upon a throne of coal and blood with armed security and a nation built for him, to protect him and his money, a police state, pat downs on the corner, murdered in the street, your daughters gotta eat. He grows fatter and fatter still, he loves complacency, he loves contentment, he invests heavily in both. He knows we are strong, he knows we are many, he knows he must divide us to win, he knows we're his greatest weapon, so he created Fox News, he created TMZ, stealthily, we didn't even notice, he created NPR and KVIE, he gave them masks that look like ours. They look poor, they look starved, they look like us, but they have a different master. Our master is the earth, our master is our coworker, our neighbor, our mailman, our dishwashers, our bus drivers, our minimart clerks. Our masters are not the TV, our masters are not the radio, our masters are not the New York Times, they are not National Geographic, they are not BP, they are not our principals, our administrators, our policemen, our CEOs, our investors, our bankers, our insurance providers, these people hate us, they hate us because they can't squeeze blood from a stone, and the rivers are running dry, the factories are standing still, the people, our masters and our friends, they're in the streets, they're shouting "BLACK LIVES MATTER" they're shouting "NO JUSTICE NO PEACE" "NO MORE WAR FOR OIL" **** THE POLICE" "DOWN WITH THE 1%" and soon and soon, The False Gods will grow so fat and we'll have nothing left to eat but them, and on that day we'll sit down to dine and it won't be civilized and it won't be pretty, their blood, our blood, will feed the rivers and their flesh will feed our hungry children and their money will burn and warm our chilled bones but we can't wait, we can't wait for this to happen because everyday they grow stronger, we grow weaker and the river becomes dryer. The Bourgeois is our enemy, they say 'All Lives Matter' they say 'Work Hard and Your Dreams Will Come True' BUT THEY LIE

My African culture Uprooted from my ancestors And pused on from generation to generation My African culture- might seem wied sounds funny or looks like a **** but these carry alot of benedictions My African culture tells the story of were we came from and most probably were we are heading My African culture describes and names itself there is really no need for a heading My African culture the one source of pride and Joy My African culture hard to replace yet easy to enjoy My African culture oh my beautiful culture my soul screams in joy from the energy of my people and from the rythm of the African drum my heart beats movements degin within my feet my inner voice telling me to move in a fleet I dispiss and dislike a person who malingers or derides his culture,such a beautiful thing,such a precious , Special thing My African culture tells the true tells of fallen legends, of great worriors And of most celebrated heros  though it never varies the tall in the telling Now that's my Wonderful African culture

I’d like to know what a hero is; Pretty simple, I believe. Explain to me how a hero is Supposed to act And when the fool’s Heinous crimes will be Given a reprieve. What is a hero? Is a hero supposed to mock What causes the danger Or laugh in the faces of Those who wish for change? Where’s his cape? Where’s his dimming lights And crowded stage? What is a hero when he Starts the problems he was Deemed to end? What is he but a hero when The foe becomes his friend? Is he still the powerful And mighty When the journey towards Greatness has become too flighty? Is a hero supposed to cower Behind the power? Is a hero meant to Lead with hate instead of love? Is this “hero” your definition Of the “great” America we’re still Yet to become? What is a hero doing with You? How are we going to get this Message through? It’s not he who is the hero But we the people Who went within a second From a million to zero It’s not them who are the Heros, but the villains Overruled by corporations And common greed. What is a villain wearing a Hero’s mask Doing imprisoning a country That struggled so long To be freed?

What Is A Hero? (Slam Poem)
My big brother has always been a hero in my eyes His actions were misleading, sort of in disguise But I looked to him for the path to walk Even before the days when I learned to talk We were just kids, we would stay up late Talking about our problems and all the people we used to “hate” But as time went by, as if in the beat of a heart We found ourselves in worlds; different and apart The things he did and all the people he knew Were of no use for me to actually get a clue Begging for help, without ever saying a word Makes it hard for your little brother to know your pain Like the haze of smoke, we got caught coughing, trying to breath But the oxygen was gone from the brother’s past Nothing left but monoxide to toxify the bonds of brotherhood We separated to two separate countries, how it was always supposed to be But it was exactly different than it should have been My brother is a hero for he showed me what not to do He showed me who’s not cool – by being their friend He helped me set my life on its proper way So my brother I want to say, You’re my unexpected hero.

Heros and Powers
It's quite outside Not a noise a play Not a sound hits The veins absorb more blood The sweat on my forehead drips I'm transforming I'm becoming who I really am A monster from a son An enemy from a friend My god, I'm evil I'm demented and insane I endure the darkness of the soul I fein for the pressure of pain Injections of the venom A death Sentence with a chair scripted my name I am who I was when you thought you knew me I'm a villain, I'm still the same! This animal has been released The fury of rage broke open my enclosed cage Where love letters fell to the floor from super woman's page Spider-Man, superman, send em all my way My powers aren't going to eletricfy your heros, it's invisble but corrupts the reaction of the face Terror pumps through my heart Anger feeds my fist Blood is replaced with toxins My thoughts are molded and crisp STOP ME! I dare you, try! **Are you kidding me? I'm not an evil villain at all! Ya just love negativity and anguish You wouldn't of read this if I didn't say words that die That intrigue you! Haunt you and daunt you! Why do you all love misery? Why do you need my psychotic thoughts to help you sleep at night? It probably helps your ignorance, loneliness doesn't match insanity... Shut up! You know I'm right.**

So I have decided to be my own hero Not because I'm a good role model or someone to look up too But because it will just be so much easier My decisions won't shock me nor will my actions When we worship people like John Lennon Or Kurt Cobain The drug use seems so tragic and the gunshots leave us terrified But if its just me I won't be taken aback By how much I have changed And no one will care about what I do Cuts on my wrists wouldn't be front page news and my failures will be forgotten and ignored But most of all I think that if its me I won't find the drug use that tragic And the gun shots won't be that terrifying

I wish I was nocturnal. I would wake up to silence and the smell of the crisp night air. I would stare up at the stars and dream with open eyes. I would talk to the man in the moon And listen to his stories of ancient heros and real life love stories. I would memorize the song of the crickets and hum along as sang. I would walk the abandoned streets without all the hustle and bustle of busy people who have forgotten what it was like to be a toddler. To walk slow and look at everything as though it were the first time.

To Be A Toddler
sometimes we don't agree but you know you're forever stuck with me we'll sit in our carboard boxes race around the block pretend we're super heros forever on the clock All of a sudden we've grown up getting our nails done downtown the best days of our lives, silently flying by we've laughed through the best times and we survived the worst from late nights to early mornings from carboard boxes to pedicures sometimes we don't agree but you know you're forever stuck with me

Forever Stuck With Me
You can smell it - when it happens, and it does, at the trailer park. You investigate once, because you, personally have never seen a rotting corpse. Once, single use death, as when one tries to use life too hard, too not easy, like heros on TV, not gentle, as with a kitten or a yellow duckling, held, in your own soft bowl of fingers. Bubble, floating for a moment longer than bubbles would if only water were involved, -- input, use, grow a known, redistill, settle still bubbles in the commode, bubbles in the coffee, bubbles in the hummingbird feeder, bubbles in my brain, or my soul, sometimes, I wonder if one is the other, when the brain is dead, the soul is gone, must be, wouldn't one assume? perhaps here is where the spirit lingers, watching souls lay dead where a bubble of life was.

Death dealt with
"What inspires you?" He asks as her eyes begin to light up She starts thinking about all the worlds that her imagination has led her to and all the places real, and fictional, that she longs to see. Her mind shoots across the galaxy and she thinks about Poetry and Space High fantasy adventures with elves and magic Her eyes sparkle with stars that could be other worlds Far Far away Her passions bubble up with volcanic heat she pictures all her heros from Athena, to Bilbo and he says again "What inspires you?" she says gently "Are you sure you want to know?"

What inspires you? / Passions behind her eyes
The Equestrian When we met We could and would Have a sunday brunch We ate **** word appetizers Before eruptions of love for our main course We conversed about ecstasy And drank tall glasses of progeny And picked morsels of fantasy Passed on the dessert Enough sweetness in wetness Salivate like rabid wolves Over the thought that your body brings me deepness I guess I'm in depth She straddles my imagination I saddled her provocation Learn the speed at which her mind gallops While We share our addictions Compare our afflictions Only to conclude we're of the same breed An option I could of If only I would of But knowing I should of Cause the timing is never right Not all heros ride into the sunset Not all villains would meet there demise Xin

Dr. Huxtable (10 Word)
I want to runaway, Far into the oceans. Into the abyss of waters, The unexplored depts of Undiscovered species of fish And devouring monsters. I want to runaway, Maybe to Africa in the forests. Where wolves, dogs and dragons roam. Make a tent out of straw and mud, And all it my home. Spend the rest of my life alone. I want to runaway. Maybe to the snow clad- region of The Himalayan mountains, Or to the frozen poles of the earth. Stand to the highest peaks, Without any clothes So my limbs can freeze , Till they look like plastic manikins. I want to run away, Take up permanent residence on mars, Or the moon, Or maybe on the sun. Far away from earth as possible, Because If I stay here, You'll just be a village away, A city away... A country away... Maybe a continent and it wont be enough, I'll still spend each night thinking of you. I want to runaway. Maybe to another galaxy, Maybe here exists parallel universe Where I can escape. One where there are actually super heros That wear spandex and capes. One where happily ever after's are real, And you know exactly how I feel. I want to runaway. Escape this reality to wear stars align. I would bend and twist, Or manipulating time. Abuse any available strength I can find, Just to get you out of my mind.
