Hercules (Poetry)

Hercules (Poetry)

Our hero has fallen
Authored failures of epic proportions
Who will bow before him now?
All the bleeding hearts have stopped

So grand so strong was he
Our hero or so he seemed
His heroic low rider ways
Beckoned for a higher calling?

Oh so now were he a god
Were he a savior of the masses
Why then did our heavenly lord
Grant him none of His graces?

The corruption has spread like cancer
We’ve elected ourselves a king
Our nation can’t collapse much faster
Shadows of the truth beckon us to sing

Our hero has fallen
Take him away
Our hero was false
He has lead us astray

Our hero is a fool
We’ve all lost our way
Our hero is no more
Today is our darkest day

For a new hero, we can only pray
He was never our Hercules
Never could win us the day
Bring us a new hero, please…
