“A man’s got to have a code, a creed to live by.” John Wayne
““A man's got to have a code, a creed to live by.” With basketball players saying we are no heroes
with football players saying we are no heroes
with actors saying we are no heroes
with pastor saying we are not responsible
with evil working this world
this world need heroes
who are the heroes
poets?
Seldom
authors even seldom
what is this world like without heroes
Evil is running amok amok
Evil is running amok
Without heroes this world is heading towards hell
Evil is this world
Shame is shame evil is evil
Without heroes
an's got to have a code, a creed to live by.”
