Orpheus' Creed

Tristan Robert Lange

Others may not realize
that Real heroes sing,
not out of Postured pomposity
nor from hardened Hearts,
but with Ecstatic voices—
from Unbound poet souls
Sacrificing themselves for others.

    A great manner of poetically saying that true heroes act not out of desire for recognition but for the act itself. Nicely done my friend
