The Selfish Athlete – Who is the Real Hero?
by Sabrina Dawkins
Who was the real hero?
“Hector fights for his country!
Achilles fights only for himself!”
Brad Pitt killed Prince Hector X.
He was a soldier for someone else,
fighting for his own glory.
He could only teach his fans
gladiator moves and snake mentality,
not morality.
What a pity
bread and circuses 2.0
is on the ubiquitous TV screen.
Hurt but don’t help:
“Don’t ever help anyone up.
Don’t do that. Great foul,”
said to Shaq by Michael.
And now his sons,
ruthless gladiators,
want his title.
LeBron James stole his number.
Forget respect
for a father who never loved
but taught blind competition.
Another son competes against
his father: Satan.
