Where Are the Heroes?
Can you find heroes in the fiction that you read?
The literature that this world offers
Is malignant, poisonous, and crude.
For those who put their literary treasures in coffers,
When they open a modern book the awakening is most likely rude.
Off-color language, vicious characterization
All combine for books filled with trash.
When an author seeks to achieve novelization
It’s more like they’re writing for a lecher’s secret stash.
Themes and style clash with the romantic view.
And plots hardly ever show a blip.
Where are the heroes who pursue
The stories beyond the news clip?
Popular authors pick up their pens to write.
But very few show that they’re worthy of the fight.

Smartystan
The gleam from the streets of Smartystan sparked the brain. Platinum and diamond streets always seemed to drive thought in the city-state-nation. It meant that vehicles could rove over the avenues and boulevards with ease and become not a distraction but a reminder of how clean and well-kept even the alleyways and back lots had been.
