My entry Friday poem...https://steemit.com/poetry/@corderosiete/the-hero-s-square-fridaypoets-prydefoltz
Raw poetry that speaks of loss. The autumn of a broken country, where even the pigeons of the squares have been disappearing. The relationship between: hero - nation - hunger is interesting.
Decadence without saviors, no breakthrough is glimpsed. There is a kind of conformity with the decline. Only contemplation of the slow fall of the robust tree that was a rich country, now plunged into misery.
Good writing, brother! Quite descriptive and heartfelt.
As humans, we tend to the hero worshipping. There is something in us that craves excitement and a chance to prove ourselves, and so we like to also imagine ourselves the hero. We forget some heros are shrouded in death. Me ... I am more of a worshipper of peace:):):)
A truly wonderful write. Really quite wonderful:)
