Hero

1881952

Courage, valor, strength;
Is the recipe of a hero.
He’s fighting local villains;
Turning crime rate to zero.

Though not brandishing a cloak;
The hero’s like wisp of smoke.
Neither boasts nor brags;
But honors the country flag.

Winning over the love;
Of the alluring lady in red.
He unmasked his identity;
And soon they shall wed.

The hero’s nature is loving;
Depicting his compassion.
To the suffering of his people;
Responding wild with passion.

The hero fighting strong;
Blood pounding in his ears.
Diminishing all that’s wrong;
Hence removing all our fears.

Courage, valor, strength;
Is the recipe of a hero.
He’s fighting local villains;
Turning crime rate to zero.
