Our Heroes And Heroines

Our heroes and heroines we may love to recall But do they believe in a fair go for all If they are xenophobic or racist even in a small way Any respect to them I for one never will pay. Our heroes and heroines are gods in our eyes But are they kind hearted and generous and wise And do they embrace egalatarianism as a good idea Or do they secretly believe in inequality? Our heroes and heroines we greatly admire But to be better people us do they inspire? And if to this simple question your answer is no Your heroes and heroines not worthy to know. Our heroes and heroines to us may be great But are they the people we should celebrate We put them on a pedestal and give them renown Though some disappoint us and by them we do feel let down. Our heroes and heroines their praises we may sing But a greater sense of self worth to us do they bring Or are they other mortals with flaws we don't see For some of them do see quite ordinary to me.
