Hero's Life (Sestina)


The main character of a story, the hero The one who fights only for justice The one renewing the sanctity of life Money, women, cars, power These things give meaning only to evil People who do not know of god Sometimes their strength is from god Though they all embody the hero Living only to oppose evil A physical proponent of justice A constant example of how innocence is power Saving others regardless of their own life The sole and holy maker of life Is the leader of the hero, god Who’s the one being with absolute power The main driving force behind justice That seeks to bring down evil Has chosen the one and only hero However their opponent is great and powerful, evil Which has corrupted men’s souls, seeking life Naturally opposing the flow of justice The most powerful force against god Ripping, tearing and conflicting the hero The one ultimate threat on heaven's power Along the fantastical quest for power The encountering of evil Is inevitable but weak against the hero Because the faith he has in human life The same unending faith as god With a fixation on the pursuit of justice Always staying faithful to their justice Forgetting what was granted them was not power But the unending love and spirit of god It is that love that destroys evil Love with the effect of life This continues to shine in the hero Though evil will always corrupt power Love is the justice of this life Love, given by god, to the greatest character ever, the hero
