Heroes Poems

The Peace Warrior Of Mzansi, among heroes - a colossus!
Sun Of The Nation; a rare gift of Providence.
Once, entangled in the web of racist succubus;
Unruffled he declares before High Justice:
...

The young maricones and the horny muchachas,
The big fat widows delirious from insomnia,
The young wives thirty hours' pregnant,
And the hoarse tomcats that cross my garden at night,
...

A woman waits for me- she contains all, nothing is lacking,
Yet all were lacking, if sex were lacking, or if the moisture of the
right man were lacking.
...

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
...

Millions queued in lines before Arbiter Of Disputes.
Hopes were high,
Duty and resolve holding firm.
Hearts dance with spirit of Emancipation,
...

War is never over
Thought the treaties may be signed
The memories of the battles
Are forever in our minds
...

If I were fierce, and bald, and short of breath
I'd live with scarlet Majors at the Base,
And speed glum heroes up the line to death.
You'd see me with my puffy petulant face,
...

Of asphodel, that greeny flower,
like a buttercup
upon its branching stem-
save that it's green and wooden-
...

No time to prepare
Shoved over cliff by sorrows
Float down now, gently
...

English Teeth, English Teeth!
Shining in the sun
A part of British heritage
Aye, each and every one.
...

A SONG of the good green grass!
A song no more of the city streets;
A song of farms--a song of the soil of fields.
...

By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April's breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood
And fired the shot heard round the world.
...

Wreathed in myrtle, my sword I'll conceal
Like those champions devoted and brave,
When they plunged in the tyrant their steel,
And to Athens deliverance gave.
...

Ay, tear her tattered ensign down!
Long has it waved on high,
And many an eye has danced to see
That banner in the sky;
...

ENDYMION.

A Poetic Romance.
...

For Osip Mandelstam

And the town is frozen solid in a vice,
Trees, walls, snow, beneath a glass.
...

OVER the western sea, hither from Niphon come,
Courteous, the swart-cheek'd two-sworded envoys,
Leaning back in their open barouches, bare-headed, impassive,
...

In the Shreve High football stadium,
I think of Polacks nursing long beers in Tiltonsville,
And gray faces of Negroes in the blast furnace at Benwood,
And the ruptured night watchman of Wheeling Steel,
...

In the war these heroes have died
Though the war was illegal,
They are martyrs
They have shed their blood in the war
...

I’d heard fool-heroes brag of where they’d been,
With stories of the glories that they’d seen.
But you, good simple soldier, seasoned well
In woods and posts and crater-lines of hell,
...

They might look like regular people on the street,
People don't realize that people who serve are heroes because they don't have their uniform on,
They risk their lives for others never knowing that it may be their last day of life,
People don't say thank you to heroes,
...

When I was young I dreamed of being a superhero whenever I would play…
I might be Superman…or a knight in shining armor searching for a dragon to slay.

I dreamed of being that person who ran into a burning building and pulled a baby to safety just before she was engulfed in flames…where everyone would recognize my courage…and forever remember my name.
...

All beneficiaries treat icons, leaders and legends as heroes and Gods;
This custom has come into use since monarchical rule and religious worship;
This practice started since the time immemorial to mankind continues still
In the modern time and beyond limit due to politics and cinema sure!
...

The Daleks think they've won the day,
The Master Race Man must obey,
The Doctor strives to find a way
To change the course of time.
...

As far back as she can remember…whenever her memories stir…
her heroes came from the pages of children's books her dads would read to her.

When they read about knights in shining armor…about heroes brave and wise
...

1. So yes, let's think about tomorrow, lest this war we all ignore, For religion flies out the window, aye and reason out the door;No gods, and damned few heroes, that's forbye the NHS,‘Let the powers that be all see there's better songs to sing than this'.
...

I was raised on stories of heroes…in Fairy Tales, in books, at the movies and on TV
Heroes slayed the dragons, fought the enemies and helped to keep us safe, happy and free.

Heroes had a special power…drawn from visceral source
...

Heroes have always been among us…
quietly doing what they've always done before
Yes, heroes have always been among us
but in a crisis…we acknowledge them more.

1. So yes, let's think about tomorrow, lest this war we all ignore, For religion flies out the window, aye and reason out the door;No gods, and damned few heroes, that's forbye the NHS,‘Cause the folks in power ‘til this very hour can't save us from this mess.

2. Oh nature's laws are boundless, but alas mankind's are not,The rich for the rich and the poor for the poor, but cures cannot be bought, No gods, and damned few heroes, that's forbye the NHS,‘Cause the folks in power ‘til this very hour can't save us from this mess.

As far back as he can remember…memories he loves to skim
his heroes came from the pages of children's books his dad would read to him.

When they read about knights in shining armor…
