A Hero's Tale

We're all heroes, so let's give him a helping hand

The distraught pen forms waves, ripples on the paper's water 
Those waves formed, facing the town, looking to manslaughter 

But there was a hero, a knight in shining armour, ready to fight 

Ready to fight against the tsunami's great, unadulterated plight 

And so he lifts up his sword, gets on his horse, and he rides 

Foaming at the mouth and horse's feet clapping, onward to the tides 

And so the horse stops at the break between sand and sea 

Little did he know that pen was mightier than sword and he 

And so him and the town were totaled, ruined beyond repair 

Let this be a lesson that one needs to know their enemy and weapon 

And that it should not be among one hero, the weight to bear

True - if we all stick together we can achieve much, and sometimes turn the bureaucratic tide!
