Hero(ine)

You are sublime

You are divine

Your presence is an extra lifeline

In your warm rays, I shall make headlines

You shine on me love

A delightful design

That sends joyous glitters down my spine

Now and then, you taste sweeter than wine

Your smile is simply one I dare not decline

Heroes have come and gone

Great deeds have been done

By many deemed as heroes

So to the people of braveness

Of the past and this century

I salute thee, I adore thee

Unfortunately, I can’t say it’s Nelson Mandela; the paladin of Africa

The African humanitarian megastar

For the champion of champions

Holds the key in my opinion

The one who commands respect

Who is intellect; kindly and proudly can stand erect; to fight for any great cause

Like the man called Jesus

I look for someone near perfect

The one with lofty imagination

One with prodigious vision

Assigned with an inconceivable mission

One who can sustain global peace; and preserve global justice

One who can feed hungry mouths that lingers in country ‘bout

One who can inject love and strength

Yet heroes have come and gone

Died in rain, war and sun,

Some remembered, some forgotten

Withered away in times as rotten

My hero the Father’s begotten.
