Hero
A lone hero walks this Earth
He's been wandering since birth
He fights with unwavering determination
For the simple conservation
Of life
This hero is cold and unwanted
For saving us, he's taunted
Yet he remains a hero
He will until he defeats his foe
An elderly hero walks on shallow ground
No longer world renown
Buried in a horrid grave
It was his own life he should have tried to save
