A Hero

A hero is a born fighter

A hero does not fear death

A hero fears no danger

A hero is concerned about self

But also about the others

Who are fighting as brave soldiers

Deep below the sea levels

Deep in the hadopelagic gutters.

A hero is absolutely fair

A hero has no fear

A hero is a serious leader

A hero is never a backstabber

Occasionally, this word is misused

One should denounce the perpetrator

This beautiful noun should not be abused

By nobody or a narcissistic detractor

A hero is humble, essential

And super special.
