We all have our heroes
redeemers allowed to mesmerize and
shackle us with their afflictions and woes

We vanish into them and perish
we're held tenaciously by the image heroes
have of themselves

We have no personal vision
we exist as our heroes

We are prisoners and slaves to false teachings
our heroes are lies manufactured by people who
preach their truth

Imitating others creates Death

We all have our heroes
redeemers allowed to mesmerize and shackle us
with their afflictions and woes

Let us look within ourselves! !
We are our own Saviors! !
