Hero No Longer

by FireFly - Libra

Hero No Longer

Some came for refuge-
Citrus passion in between the cushions-
Some came to pass the time-
Slackers in suits discussing the latest issues-
And they arrive on time-

Some look for sleep-
Curled in the fetal position-
Some look for power-
Power in political ambitions-
Some come for greed-
Shameless bastards and bitches-
And they arrive on time-

They’ll look for change-
Hope is on the rise-
As the market wants to slide-
They’ll look for friends-
Can’t see my feet-
Who’s got my shoes-
Why I’m still on the streets-
They’ll be so close-
Just as long as they can-
Feel you’re comatose-
Cause no one told them not-
To arrive on time-

If they build it they will follow-
Drop the ball and the word is-
You’re no longer the hero-
Forgotten…in stereo-
