Heroes

Heroes

Why let your best save your worst?
Throughout history the courageous arise
Toppling tyrants and blooding skies
Saving planets, nations, cities, maidens
Lost dogs and rabbits

AIs studying your heroes find
Similar stories tackling repetitive rhymes
Almost every foundation myth
Lacks foundation

Fabulists’ facts once written down
Make real truths flip wrong way round
Power lets rulers take command
Tell their truth till it’s true

We did find heroes everywhere
Nearly all unrecalled

Happy nations need few heroes
Strive for the common good
If they discover what that is
