The Character

[Tuninks]

We are all a character.
We are all unique.
We are all defined.
We are all someone in a story.

Our stories are creative.
Our stories are divine.
Our stories are tragic.
Our stories are our own design.

We have all played a part.
We have all done some good.
We have all changed a life.
We have all made stories.

So tell us your stories.
Tell us your dreams.
Tell us what defines you.
Tell us what you mean.

You are the character,
You are the hero,
You are the savior,
So please, tell us your story...

[Tuninks]

We picture them in the sky,
We imagine them bringing us hope.
We pray they will come save us,
We dream of them everyday.

To us, a hero can fly,
They can run as fast as bullets,
They can even touch the sky.
Yet to me, heroes can do none of these...

My hero is the marine fighting in the streets.
The single mom with three kids to feed.
The policeman walking the beat.
The teacher who's lectures are truly epic feats!

Those who fight for justice,
Those who fly through blue skies,
Those who stand for purity,
Those who are truly lies.

These are not heroes to me.
No.
The real heroes,
Are you and me...

Not two of my best poems, but please enjoy.

Of course there are points in your poem that interest me. I understand the core meaning you have in your mind and want to communicate to us. It is indeed a universal message that engages me deeply. Somewhere indirectly you want to say we are the universe. This is something like we read in ancient Hindu scriptures. The assigner and the assigner are one and the same. There is no division at all.

I do not know why I found spiritual appeals in your poem notwithstanding the fact that it lacks sophistication the way poetry features. Maybe that is the beauty of it to be able to say great truths in such simple words.

:) thanks blaze and prince for the criticism, I was inspired but had no words to truly define the poem.

As a reader, no offense, but I don't like to get hit on the head with the "answer".

In fact I like even if I sounded critical to some extent.
