The Hero and the Villain
The Hero and The Villain
“A hero would sacrifice you for the world,
A villain would sacrifice the world for you.”
If the roles were switched, twould still be fair
It depends on the values you share
Without the love, life’s hardly worth living
Without the world, no place to call home.
But in this world are thieves and crooks,
Arsonists, outlaws, and murderers
What fool would save them instead of you,
Faced with the ultimate decision?
Suppose ‘true love’ came into the equation
If it is destined, you, it shall be.
Cast aside the world, tis not as important as thee.
But if it is not to be, the world shall be saved.
Grief will amount, yes, but move on. The hero’s soul is not so chained.
The villain hates these buffoons and martyrs,
Perhaps one of them forced the decision
Perhaps these idiots-
But ask yourself why, and ask yourself when,
A hero would sacrifice you
For them?
