a poem - Hero

*

I was born to be a God,

to equal my creator in his goodness and anger.

It was written I would be praised,

that I could play with the fate of the man

but

I was cursed to be their savior.

**

I am not a God,

just a human hero,
murdered by them and honored later by the same.
I am
an old statue of stone,

forgotten and broken.

Father,  forgive their ignorance.
