The Hero's creed

Everyday I take flight.

For it's my job to save your life.

On a cliff or in the sea.

For there is nothing which harms me.

Three little words " Please help me."

And in that instant there I'll be.

I'll lift that train or hurl that bus.

Never a need for you to fuss.

If your falling call my name.

I'll swoop down like a plane.

For everyday truth I'll fight.

It's a battle I swear my life.

( So I don't have to wait four days to get all of this out I will put

part one and two together.)

A Hero's Mistake.

From up top a building I did fly.

And grabbed a missile out the sky.

With a twist I throw it high.

And watched as it cleared the sky.

Turned my back and went my way.

For I had just saved the day.

It wasn't to long before the report.

Seventy-six dead at the Logan airport.

For it seems a missile had arrived.

Fell out the clear blue sky.

I thought to myself it couldn't be.

Could all that death fall upon me.

Posted by Zombie Punk 2008-07-02 01:01:17 Glad to see my poem inspired you! A couple spelling mistakes but no big deal. It was well written, some wicked rhymes. Maybe have part one's font the color of blue and part two red? that would be pretty cool I think. Great Job. + Report this comment

Posted by lemon 2008-07-02 11:45:28 .... I thought it was good (can't say my usual 'interesting' because resistanceisfreedom beat me to it :P) I'd say its better that you put these two together like you did rather than waiting to post them seperately because they tell one story. keep it coming =] + Report this comment
