The Hero The Villain Poem by Deluke Muwanigwa

The Hero The Villain

Rating: 4.0


Your hero is my villain
He fought for your empire
This is the usual refrain

This is the usual refrain
He killed and tortured my people
Your villain you recall you retrain

Your hero is my villain
He wiped away my infrastructure
Killed women and children in the village

This is the usual refrain
Heroes who acquire state power
Become rogues like a runaway train

Your hero is my villain
If you want to remain a hero then die
Otherwise your fall we can't restrain

My hero your villain their titles they won't retain
Hero leaders lose credibilty as heroes in office
This is the usual refrain
Your hero is my villain

Too much conflict, power and greed. It is like the 1800’s with power, punishment and racism. Here’s to a change for the future.
