Heroes won't exist <br />As long as hesitancy persists <br />No capes will flow <br />If our willingness to accept doesn't show <br /> <br />Heroes can't arrive <br />Unless we learn help is needed to survive <br />Masks will go unworn <br />Until our hope is torn <br /> <br />Heroes shall rise <br />To stop the inevitable demise <br />Suits shall be worn <br />To heal all that was torn <br /> <br />Heroes will not cease <br />They only aim to please <br />Gauntlets to be strapped <br />When our fears are capped <br /> <br />Heroes ease the pain <br />It's that simple and plain <br />Boots continue to lace <br />As they find their place <br /> <br />Heroes are here to stay <br />It has to be that way <br />Gadgets are employed <br />As evil is deployed <br /> <br />The hero lives in us <br />He resides in our trust <br />The powers lie within <br />Only when we find our hero will peace begin<br /><br />Steven Elsner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/heroes-are-born-within/
