Hero
Where is the hero's place,
once the evil has been slain? What is there left for him, when the world is good again? Long forgotten by the people, he risked his life to save. His lonliness and his training, are his life until his grave. He no longer has his sense of purpose, since the people have left him behind. He can hear the darkness beckoning, his vision fades as he grows blind. "How could you let them do this to you"? Asks a voice inside his head. "You save them all and they abandon you"? "To them you're already dead"! The hero's will, once unshakable, begins to weaken and to fade. His cause and his purpose once great, have his morals betrayed. As the last ounce of light escaped from his heart, he shed a little tear. All that was light now becomes dark, and his vision becomes clear. Once an angel, now a demon. His good heart now rotten with sin. If only the people hadn't forgotten, this great hero among men. Last edited by Eldaire; 10-29-2003 at 04:41 PM.. |

That was beautiful. It makes me think of the books I've been reading lately.
My retort to the poems words would be: "The end of a beings life is only the beginning"
