Where are our heroes?
Dear Editor,
Where are our heroes? To whom can our children look up and identify a good model?
Where are our heroes?
I search the playfields for them
Fixed matches
I leave disappointed.
Continue searching.
Where are our heroes?
I search the political arena
Still searching
Cannot find.
Where are our heroes?
Of the screen I search
These are just actors and actresses
A hero nowhere just pretension.
Where are our heroes?
I search the dust
And there I find my heroes
Unknown
Unregistered
Dying and becoming forgotten.
Here is my hero.
The persons worthy nobody knows.
A blade of grass insignificant.
Krishna Nand Prasad
