MY HIDDEN HERO

Hero for Steemit print size.jpg

Things look hopeless as you ponder the chaotic world
Seeing no way out, no bright future awaiting to be unfurled
Surely there must be good people fighting for me, for our country, for our freedom
Those brave heroes ready to open the doors to logic and to reason
Yet you see no allied Army in your midst
No knights on white chargers just offset in the mist
You know the wrongs must be righted, the dawn must break, as you battle the evil you see in your wake.
You feel overwhelmed at the strength of the foe
Yet a glimpse of light tells you that this isn't so
You see the light in everyone, those honest people who are as you, awake and enlightened and pondering too
So the tide is turning, peace and liberty are in sight
You finally realise the hero, who is, and has been, ready for the fight
You see, the hero is hidden deep inside of you, you have the power and the might.
So at last the chaos will cease, the war will be won as unified
consciousness casts love's eternal light

Dedicated to those who want a peaceful planet
