HERO –ZERO
Once again the Hero moves through the lines
Floating alone in the times.
He reaches friendly lines
Where he takes his place at the end of the line.
The hero sits silently as he prepares
Shinning his amour all dented and ding
Wondering what the tomorrow will bring.
He smiles, he knows,
There are no tomorrows only today’s,
In a hero’s world where he lays.
In so short of a time he hears them call
“We need to fill the zero line, go get the hero he’ll make the stand.”
Some call him leader,
Some call him fool;
He knows he is neither
Just an ordinary man,
In extraordinary times.
Too soon he hears the call again
He raises and answers;
Though this could be the last.
He remembers back to when he was young
How his armour and wings shone bright
He smiles and recalls
How proud and tall…
Then someone yells “There’s a breach up ahead”.
They all stop and turn to watch the hero move.
Without a word the soldier asks if his time has come
Knowing that if he survives,
Once again
He will go to the back of the line.
The cut goes deep,
Knows this time it’s for keeps.
He drops to his knees
He wonders why.
But he knows,
He is going to die.
His past flashes him by
As he asks of himself will anyone cry.
The hero goes back to the end of the line.
