Don't try to be a hero, try to be a good human

Don't try to be a hero,

try to be a good human,

who is just and kind,

who first takes care of himself,

then helps everybody else

in their quest and grind,

for heroes are good only in stories,

walking on the path of ruin for greater good

but the world ain't a fairy-tale place,

for the have not's there isn't any space

learn to control the virtue of generosity,

just like we have to keep in check the vices,

everything has to be done in limits,

too much of a good thing is not good too,

be practical and be a stoic,

make your path, clear your way first,

then see if there are worthy ones,

who can be helped by taking fare dues,

to make progress and get ahead too. 

How can it be?

Everything you do

is utterly stupid,

everything you do 

is utterly foolish,

still you want respect,

how can it be?

have always put yourself

above everybody else,

have always loved yourself

more than anybody else,

still you want affection,

how can it be?

first one to panic at 

the onset of any problem,

last one to think or get into

the solution of a problem

still you say I am the lead,

how can it be?

always trying to cover up

with lies and deceits,

rather than introspecting,

learning and improving,

still you say nobody 

smarter than me,

how can it be?

but having still quite a good time,

love, care and all things fine,

and I wonder awake,

dead dark into the night,

where is the law of karma?

if it is not just a catchy line

then how can it be?
