Everyone Is Someone's Hero Poem by Benjamin Bauda

EVERYONE IS SOMEONE'S HERO
He robs once son and rapes another's daughter,
He abuses a father and assaults a mother.
He is his mother's son, his fathers heir.
He is a brother to his sister and his brothers brother.
He is a friend and a colleague, he is someone's hero.


She opens shop for the day while others close.
She is dressed undressed waiting for her customers.
She greets everyman at night but non during the day.
She sells marital goods to both single and married.
She is a hero to her son and daughter, to her customers and stakeholders.


His village is more beautiful than the state capital he is governing.
She is surrounded by light and riches representing a people living in darkness and poverty.
He keeps getting fat, they keep getting thin,
She never stops smiling, they never stop crying.
They are heroes to their families, village and tribe.
