Where Have All The Heroes Gone?

Heroes come and heroes go

As of their own accord

Until we apply new standards 

That sew some discord

You can’t compare the past

With what we would do today

The embodiment of our lives

Doesn’t work in yesterday

As heroes they stand alone

For all that they qualities they possess

The litmus test of centuries

How they performed under duress

No one would hold up

To a standard so strict

That there is no appeal

Where have all the heroes gone

No one is that ideal
