Social Comment - Where Are The Heroes Poem by Paul Warren

There was a time when you could always tell
Who was for the right and who was from hell
There was no need to know why they were bad
Just reason enough that they were a known cad
Some wore black hats, moustache and a cigar
Had a black horse, black armour or a black car
Now we need to know what turned them wrong
And know why they now sing the devil’s song
Even when they come out after doing hard time
The reasons they were there makes it just fine
Don’t you wish for a time when it was so easy
To shoot all the bad guys and not feel at all queasy!
