American Hero

  
  Many Americans  
from childhood on  
have an unconscious identity    
with the “Hero Archetype”  
which dominates their    
character and fascination with    
death and near death experience  
   
   Their life story reflects  
many formative years    
of forceful indoctrination    
and happenstance  
easily channeled into    
competitive sports    
and military service    
where they can relate    
to their peers    
and form relationships.    
   
   There are no safety nets    
for returning vets  
 damaged during their    
time in service    
except for the    
camaraderie  
of other homeless    
stressed out    
mentally challenged    
 People  
living by their wits  
on the streets    
These homeless    
street people  
are survivors    
living free    
on the fringe    
of society  
 where the    
Misfits Fit
