Thank you. -Seth “Checkers†The young think in black and white, They are taught that light is the way, All they know is day and night, Until they learn the shades of gray. They wish for heroes to save the day Yet they cant possibly see, The villains are heroes in their own way. They may just yearn to be free. And in the old stories of heroes victories, Most adults don’t even see, Heroes are villains that just cant be free. For a hero to be a hero he must be strongest, But with his might corrupt he can be, That is the danger of being the best, But the villain can keep true the story. The villain keeps the hero in line, And the hero would never be free, And he would never find, The darker side he could be. So in black and white, We can see, The villain is right, And he must be.
