- Cowardly Heroic -

Contributed by jyssvw22 on Monday, 4th April 2005 @ 07:25:10 PM in AEST
Topic: ambiguous



Take a piece of me
Leave the rest behind
In bad times and worse
I’ll need my heart to stay afloat

Consider this my resignation
And pardon the hesitation
I was once cowardly
Now, I yield to my convictions

Don’t be deceived
I have yet to loose faith
I am sent to retrieve
What humanity has misplaced

The brave soldiers that beckon
A hero to reckon
With the forces of oppression
And act firm, make no concessions!

And as they beat me
For my scripted confession
And burn my skin
To a freighting complexion

I trust that innocence
Runs rampant in the streets below
I pray for my lost hero
Who lurks afraid in the shadow

I love this. I, however, think my favorite part was the last stanza, and especially the last two lines. Nice job.
