Where Are The Heroes

January 15, 1992

WHERE ARE THE HEROES

Where are the Jeffersons

The Lincolns and Thoreau

Are they all on the streets

Drinking brown-bagged Bordeaux

Or have they resigned

To simpler times

On the couch

Remote in hand

Have you any ideas

Matters that concern

The mind and soul

Does it make them burn

With unaccountable fire

Provoking such desire

Or does it stretch

The limits of demand
