RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: HISTORY
A Hero
At times in our history
A story marked with war
A person rises from obscurity
Or from a distant shore
Who calms our insecurities
Who rises to the test
Who grabs the call to destiny
The finest and the best
Who honors truth and dignity
Who guides us on the way
Who grabs us by the collar
Who knows just what to say
No need to scream or holler
A gentle touch will do
Who makes us stand much taller
The false against the true
We need such a hero
To save us from ourselves
To lift us from our blindness
To deliver us from hell
We need a Joan of Arc
Without the supposition
A Napoleon Bonaparte
Without the bold ambition
We need a coalition
United to do good
Without the inhibitions
To do the things we should
