When epics are told,
through storm and fire,
heroes become woven with gold
and are considered beings to admire.

 

But we often forget,
that idols are not gods.
They can lie and make bets
and they can act as frauds.

 

So beware the people
who seem to have halos.
For they see you as feeble.
And after all, the devil was once an angel.

WoW that is so .... *speechless* So powerful and truthful. I can so easily relate to it, well not in the fact that I'm an evil hero but I often seem to believe everything said to me and I get to be so blind sometimes that even if it is right in front of me, I would deny. I'm just naive most of time. So your pome really opened up my eyes. It left a deep impact inside of me. Plus you have a special way to chose words and form a sentence, I love it. To wrap it all, your poem is a good Wake Up Call for a lot of people and mostly for me ^_^ Thanks a lot for sharing this, don't you ever stop writing cuz you have a great talent.
