Hero, A Poem

HERO

When a good man literally 

Fights & suffers for

Cause 

Risks

Everything he has

His life 

His future

His very existence

And then

Gets betrayed

Stabbed in the back 

By his own 

People

Friends

Leaders

All hope

All glory

Stolen

Then what

Did you expect?

History

Has always been

Full of assholes

That don’t

Deserve

A thing

Or even our

Gratitude

Who did

Nothing but

Take the credit

From dead or

Weary souls
