The Hero Pilot Or The Zero Pilot? Poem by Ramona Thompson

The Hero Pilot Or The Zero Pilot?



Inspired by a friend's crazy conspiracy theory

They call him amazing
They call him a hero
And a part of me agrees....almost
Inside I feel
A lingering, questioning doubt
A doubt that just won't go away
No matter how hard I try
To crush it
Smash it
Slam it into tinny tiny bits
Still it is there and it is screaming
Something just ain't right here

Accident or planned act of terrorism gone wrong?
Is it just me?
Or do any of the rest of you get the feeling
There's more to this man's story then we're being told
Could it be as simple as this?
An old guy who never had anything too big or important to brag about
Wanted just a few short 15 minutes of fame
Am I really so stupid as to question?
Or could I be right?
Is there a cover-up?
A secret criminal monster lurking?

Call me insane
Call me a paranoid freak
I don't care
Unlike so many others out there
I will not be silent
I will not be afraid to speak up or speak out
For the sake of myself and my nation
I am one American ready, willing and able to come forth
Come forth and say
Maybe just maybe the big hero isn't such a hero after all

The preceeding was given to me to print
By a friend
An all too often basketcase of a friend
The question to be asked here is this
Nuts or not?
Sane or unsane?
It's your call
Should I stick by them or lose them?
I'm not really sure what to do anymore
Lately it seems to be getting out of control
They're seeing monsters and cover-ups everywhere
Even going as far as to accuse me
So tell me

What do the rest of you think?

We welcome any and all feedback
