a hero for out times…
we humans… we have to look for hero’s…
For the children of the sea, it was Achilles, Hector, Agamemnon, Odysseus…
For the children of the seven hills, Romulus and Caecus and Scipio
For the children of the cross, Jesus and Paul and Augustine
but who are your hero’s?
We have many different types of hero’s…
of the word and of the sword and of the spirit…
our cities have Monuments listing their great deeds…
we have holidays in remembrance
but who are the true hero’s?
today millions go see CGI hero’s…
and we have a self proclaimed orange hero
from his empty tower he preaches to the blind
and what is his sermon?
he preaches devotion to dead presidents…
but who should our hero’s be?
but really, what are hero’s for?
they exists as examples for us all…
they exists as an path for us to follow…
they exists as possibilities for us to emulate…
Hero’s… rare these days…
for they get shot on balcony’s in Memphis
and in Dealey plaza on a Friday…
and walking toward prayers on a day in January…
do hero’s only have value being dead?
but is that really the best way to remember a hero?
as a martyr to the cause?
look around you, right now, today…
and who would you call a hero?
maybe that is what we are missing today?
examples for us to follow…
someone devoted to a higher ideal
even to the point of death…
so, where are our hero’s today?
rise, show yourself, become who you are…
guide us, lead us, show us the way…
so we can do, what we always do to hero’s…
betray you undo death…
and I promise you, your monument shall rise high…
and we will devote days to your memory…
who are your hero’s?
the one you shall betray…
