Heroes Of Glass

Nearly everybody loves a hero;
it’s what many aspire to be;
much like that emperor, Nero;
they’re fiddling; a fire to see.

For heros are not all they seem;
not always possessing class;
some are a product of our dream;
and they are heroes of glass.

Many so called heroes are fragile;
with a little pressure they shatter;
others that seem adept and agile;
at the first sign of trouble; scatter.

Most are heroes at some point in time;
acting under the Master’s authority;
depending upon how hero’s defined;
a hero can become the majority.

Everyone’s hero, soon becomes past;
none can forever remain on a pedestal;
human perfection’s not destined to last;
tho for a season they’re incredible.

Most heroes are by the Master’s choice;
not due to their own significance;
instead, for a moment, become His voice;
due to their own submissiveness.

For the Master has much to teach;
and we all lack power to discern;
and fools are often able to reach;
from the folly of fools, we all learn.

Foolish heroes are usually made of glass;
for their true substance doesn’t matter;
it’s the Master’s message, they pass;
and when it’s complete, they shatter.
