IRON MAN

Staring into the sky, he saw the star studded sky and smiled, he loved being up there, he loved flying like an eagle, now was just another night,
IRON MAN - he lived for the name, the respect he got, he lived for the moment, he lived in the darkness of captivity for Freedom's bright light.

He believed that Domination was never the right way, killing was never human,he knew that War was never correct - until fought for peace, he knew the worst thing was fighting for your life,
Deep down, every man was afraid, deep down everyone had fear, he lived in that fear - fear that a good man would die in vain, fear that a kind word would be slaughtered by Evil's knife.

Everyone told him he wouldn't live to fight another day, everyone told him he would just be another nobody in life, everyone were wrong - he proved them wrong,
His heart had been taken out, his courage grabbed from him and yet he fought every minute inside to rise, to be better, he walked down the road to peace, sometimes alone and remained strong.

He knew that one day he would die - he knew he would burn, he didn't care much, he would be a dead soul one day and all his life would just be thrown into a sack,
But he never believed in living for himself, he knew that all that mattered was things we leave behind, it never mattered what we took - The world will only remember what we give back.

Looking down from the sky, he saw the lovely city - at rest under the stars when he suddenly saw a fire, he immediately made up a plan,
He lifted up slowly in the armour and as he got ready to fly, he put on his mask he smiled, this was his journey, his legacy - he was IRON MAN.
