We all have our heroes
redeemers allowed to mesmerize and
shackle us with their afflictions and woes
We vanish into them and perish
we're held tenaciously by the image heroes
have of themselves
We have no personal vision
we exist as our heroes
We are prisoners and slaves to false teachings
our heroes are lies manufactured by people who
preach their truth
Imitating others creates Death
We all have our heroes
redeemers allowed to mesmerize and shackle us
with their afflictions and woes
Let us look within ourselves! !
We are our own Saviors! !
