You Don't Resemble A Hero

You Don’t Resemble A Hero

Heroic you are not

there you are on the steps of a state capital

with your weapons you’re armed to the teeth

believing that you are heroic you’re caught up

in your own delusional mentality

there you are marching with your lit torches

lips dripping with vileness and hate 

your group of thugs has taken over a the dark street

you are believing you are heroes

 but what you suffer with is severe mob hysteria

and a grandiose mob mentality

you clearly aren’t heroes as you go about threatening

and frightening innocent people in the streets

there is nothing about you that is  heroic

your children you may deceive

you may even get

your wife involved and she too you may deceive

but you are not heroes in any conceivable way

you are no more than thugs bullies and cowards

that for some reason the law allows you to carry guns..

Let’s speak of the real heroes

the unselfish kind

those that daily put their own lives on the line

you know like those that ran into the World Trade Center buildings

as they were collapsing down

let’s speak of the real heroes warrior soldiers

those that went off to war

(but for some unknown reason you didn’t

you didn’t sign up you couldn’t make yourself go) what was it..

let’s speak of the real heroes nurses and doctors

nurses aids the janitorial service working day and night

risking their own lives in this pandemic fight

but there you are groups of delusional heroes

on the steps of a state capital armed to the teeth

and still another group of thugs

dripping vileness from between their teeth

with their torches lit as if this were 1938 Kristallnacht (the night of broken glass) in the German Streets

you are not heroes by any stretch of imagination

but there are some that will willing be deceive
