Another dose of imagination at 3am this morning. In a sense a hope that people could be more human and less adversarial.
Local Super Hero
The secret is not in the name,
or where you chose to play the game,
but in random opportunities thrown
into the frame.
Not all deadly serious often a bit
of a lark,
sometimes during the day but often
after dark,
anonymously a better way to make an
heroic mark.
Not really necessary to save a person’s
life,
or to defeat warring armies in
ending great strife,
even disarming a local bully
wielding a kitchen knife.
But helping a little one with a
mathematics rule,
leaving a bowl of water for passing
dogs to cool,
lending to a neighbour a needed
garden tool.
Everyday little things making life
less chaotic,
demonstrating behaviours truly
humanistic,
everyone can be really locally
heroic.
