And the Argonauts

Have got skeletons in their closets

The skeletons in your closet-

Their bones are clanking around.

The look in your eyes-

Says you know we can hear that sound.

The judges are searching-

Now hear your heart startin' to pound.

Closets of clanking-

Judgements we're making-

To those bones, your bloody heart is bound.

Hypocrisy

And hero worship

With Role Models so full of s**t.

Paparazzi

And Porn got leaked

Oh-Who we choose to teach our kids.

The hypnotic hero has his secrets hid.

He gallantly removes those who know what he did.

Sins of the father on his villainous kids.

Mistakes and memories of which his minds now rid.

Hypocrisy

And hero worship

With Role Models so full of s**t.

Paparazzi

And Porn got leaked

Oh-Who we choose to teach our kids.

Marilyn Monroe-

JFK.

Tom Jefferson-

And his slaves.

Hilton's sleep with-

Making bank all day.

And now that Jacko's dead-

Aww-Of course he's OK.

Hypocrisy

And hero worship

With Role Models so full of s**t.

Paparazzi

And Porn got leaked

Oh-Who we choose to teach our kids.

Author's Note

A little song about hero worship and hypocrisy-a theme I'm apparently fixated on as of late. haha
Tell me what you think.

I really like the words in this poem, the language used and the style, I'm just struggling to see the flow of it, seems to be short and quick then long and disjointed lines. Maybe that's just me and I'm missing the rhythm though :)

Good poem, I liked it, especially the repeating chorus.

I don't know. Few real hero. Men and woman are doomed to fail and know lost. A real hero can forgive and set the example. I was raised is foster homes. The people were mostly very kind and generous. I learn from wise Grandparent to become a good parent. Heroes are many. People who overcome mistakes and have kindness in their heart are the true heroes in a life. I like this poem. So many so-call heroes do things that confuse the common person. A very good poem. You create some good questions. Better to live a good life and be kind. That is what a hero does.
