Icons...

We follow public figures
envy those on our T-V
So it's painful to watch them fall
from grace…so publicly.

Once upon a time
the preachers kept their word
And we kept on believing
in reaping what we sowed

Politicians had moral fiber
old Abe he did us proud
Our heads were high, our glory was
not veiled beneath a cloud.

Role models…they were upright, too
by example, as they ought
Our heroes were heroic
and so the cause they fought

Today we're left with "Heroes"
who are often crass and crude
To whom it's normal and OK
to be churlish, angry, rude!

Me!
