Proclaimed A Hero (Bussokusekika) Poem by Edwin Tanguma

Proclaimed A Hero (Bussokusekika)



Proclaimed A Hero (Bussokusekika)

I can't understand
How an animal can be
Proclaimed a hero
A dog is only a dog
Even a police canine
What is this world coming to

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
http: //dictionary.reference.com/browse/hero? s=t At no point is any type of animal mentioned in the definition of a hero...

http: //www.bing.com/search? q=police%20dog%20killed%20in%20line%20of%20duty%20declared%20hero&qs=n&form=QBRE&pq=police%20dog%20killed%20in%20line%20of%20duty%20declared%20hero&sc=0-39&sp=-1&sk=&cvid=C49DD676D1E84629824432AFDE168863 I have nothing against dogs...

I wonder when someone is going to declare a guinea pig a hero... Or a hamster for that matter...

Give me a break... I remember long ago it took a real heroic act for a person to be declared a hero... Now the word HERO is just a word...
