all the heroes are broken
there is none to receive the message ...
no-one hears
or wants to hear
heroes have incarnated many times,
repeatedly quick through myriad earth walks,
each existence continuing the consistent,
torturous broken heartedness
(flesh is a harsh taskmaster, especially for heroes)
the time seen as coming is here –
when mere arrival into flesh
triggers aeons of emotional paradoxes
which now manifest as mental illnesses
it’s a sign of the times
pray tell, what’s that you say?
you see no heroes?
look to asperger’s, autism, OCD, ADHD
there will you find these broken heroes, incarnating
with no thought to their own suffering
(for suffering even is tallied against ignorance) -
these, the broken heroes,
are driven by the prime directive ‘to assist,’
and selflessly return to flesh again and again -
today only a single vestige of their power,
compassion,
remains and alights their eyes, which,
despite transmutation’s inherent affliction,
betrays the heroes paralyzed inside,
who remain hidden except from those who can see
i tell you,
all the heroes are broken –
it's up to us now
