Look there on that hill

At that warrior who stands after many a kill

He fought for his wife, king country and life

Only to return home to betrayed with a knife

 

His government did ignore his heroic deeds

And blamed the warrior for all the death, though for their mission he did succeed

Because the people were filled with animosity

For the war to defend them they called an atrocity

Not realizing their disgustful ignorance

As that warrior slew to defend them while in their citadel they partied and danced

 

When that warrior returned to his household

He found his wife with a man so bold

She said she wanted to divorce

And drove away in his porsche

 

Insult to injury

Social worker and security

Deemed that warrior unfit to be a father

After his cheating wife's partner did he bother

She cried and said he was dangerous and rabid

So along with his pride the ex wife took the kids

 

they mocked him they spat on his face

Cursing his name by night they didn't realize he was their saving grace

Alone and abandoned while still his fresh battle scars had not healed

No doctor of statue would risk their reputation to have those wounds sealed

 

This is why all heroes are dead

We have abandoned all value of honor and took up ignorance instead

This is why all nice people finish last

We hold them and cut their legs making sure this prophesy will pass

 

So for the next hero you know shed blood and bone

Do not remember them with concrete and stone

But remember their valor their great heroics

So our children may know that the world does not belong to stoics

And that ignorance shall pass away

And that history will be the best gift some-day

....

many of the rhymes are rough because the rhyming lines have different numbers of syllables. Good job though, I struggle with this all the time in poetry.
