A Turret Forgotten

So you want to be a hero.

Go back now, child,

There's no room here for you.

The world needs heroes

This much is true

But frankly, child

This world is a zoo

A den of dreams crushed gently

With words of uplifting consolation,

A pretend face seeming friendly

Heroes it needs,

But can never have.



Oh what sad times are these,

When more than good intention goes awry.

I was inspired for this by a song I'm too ashamed to admit...unless you REALLY want to know
