I don't know how many of you are poetry fans, but I whipped this one up earlier to day as part of a contest on a site where I have my poems. This one sort of fits here.

You.
How could you,
Let my friend
Die.

You.
Hero.
You’re supposed to save,
Not fail.
But you do.
Too much.

Retire, hero.
Your glory days
Are done.
You’re washed up
Old news.
And a failure.

Your work,
It’s done,
Hero.
You’re out of
Your prime.
You're sloppy,
You messed up,
Time to quit,
Hero.

You’re out shined,
Outwitted,
Out thought,
Outrun,
Outfought,
You’re out,
Of time.

You let them
Win.
You lost
To them,
The bad ones,
The wrong ones,
The ones
Who killed
My friend.
Your fault,
Hero.
