QUOTE : Hero Worship (The Sonnet)<br /><br />We used to worship the sun and the moon,<br />We used to worship stones and trees.<br />Then reason grew stronger along with imagination,<br />So our worship shifted from elements to entities.<br />Some of them were real and some fully fictitious,<br />We just needed an excuse to externalize our divinity.<br />Even today we keep inventing fictitious characters,<br />Despite knowing they are fiction we pledge our loyalty.<br />It seems like we are always holding out for a hero,<br />Outside our very own everyday, ordinary psyche.<br />Fiction is healthy so long as we grow no dependency,<br />Real heroes are just humans standing unbent on duty.<br />Enough with worship of fiction from comics and scriptures!<br />It's time to be the hero and take the world on our shoulders.
