Heroes

Heroes

By dan ankers

Everybody’s searching for their perfect hero

But ain’t nobody lookin at no weirdo

But a hero is a weirdo, and not a zero

And if you need a hero

Then just look in the mirror

Cause you are one

(You are one)

Now everybody wanna watch the weirdo

As they walk

Cause they don’t read no scripts

Nor follow where the world looks, as it spins

(As it spins)

And there is always some uncertain math

To drawing back the curtain as

The sheer wild woman of the earth

Reveals her curves

(Her precious curves)

Fellow Zeros, Blessed Heroes and Dear Weirdos

We are one

And we unite

To praise the moon

And catch the sun,

(Catch the sun)

So

Shine your light and do it proudly

And speak exulting words, abounding

Make it clear now, that the hero Shan't be wasted

Why sit and wait for deeds tomorrow

or

Call on some hero’s arms to borrow

When you could open up and be the one who faced it

(Just face it)

Before I looked, but I never listened

Now I’ve awoken

And I simply glisten

With drops of sweat

Brought on by a great power

That I’ve tasted

(I can taste it now)

We are the earth

We are the life

And we are one

We must unite

And we must try with all our might

Or we are doomed

So, when I say, please be a hero

I really mean just be a person

But a person who does better than they ought

Cause when the zeros and the heroes and the weirdos all unite to fix this earth

And come together

All for one purpose

Things will be great

And it shall be a world of heroes

Everyone will we wear a cape

And why the hell not

We will all be sharing the same fate

And it shall be a world of heroes

Everyone will we wear a cape

And why the hell not

We will all be sharing the same fate

With Vengeance and Dungeons and Plungers

By dan ankers

The many thoughts I have and then erode

To further twinklings, near the end of night

When sun comes up and all the world’s transposed

A knowing wall of darkness

Gets distorted into light

My thoughts are mine, I surround myself with reason

And yet by day the waking world is naught

A place for those who value introspection

No, the world is a place for those already bought

I provide myself an armor formed from deeds

And I know that the caliber of thoughts which swim within my head

Are much better than the toys the sun provides

Though I alone do seem to heed this creed

Verily, I say “from whence do you seed?”

We accept all types, so carry on

I was only asking because it seemed inviting

The thing with civilization

is that it’s hard

We are all but brutes of women and men of the most vile sort and type

Deep down inside we carry visions and memories of everything we’ve done to evolve along the way, slaying each other with axes and mallets

And now with words and curses we display

The same exact type of behavior

That the caveman did inside, underneath the canopy

Of some extinct animal’s hide.

The point to all of this

Is the simple fact that

We are human

We attack

And so very clever can we be

And so diabolically tricky!

But we as apes may fool ourselves

And chase a nonsensical notion

With enough wealth, to the ends of the earth

As it seems, we’ve even created a nation

Beautiful You

Beautiful You

By dan ankers

In all the world there is said to be only one

You

AND I AM HAPPY YOU’RE ALIVE!

You are Pretty

Smart

And

Wonderful

You are a

Funny Person

Too

If I ever saw you in a dream

Or

One day in heaven we

You would be the exact same way there

As time upon the earth you spent

I love the only one, you

And you are simply magical!

Your mind is like a crystal ball

Your heart is like a magic hat

There is simply nothing that you’re little girl’s mind cannot focus to

And in my deepest self I pray that

You will keep this  way

Through all you do
