A So Called Hero

He and his mate were rescued from their cage in a collapsed mine shaft a few years ago
And of the story of their rescue the World came to know
But so disappointed am i for to hear
That he spends his weekends hunting and shooting at deer.

A second chance of life lady luck to him was generous to give
And from his near death experience one would have thought he would have learned to live and let live
A few years ago a World-wide hero and now he shoots deer his idea of sport on Sunday
A so called sportsman who lacks in compassion but that's life as some well might say.

I am not his judge i shouldn't judge him each to their own as some do say
And i happen also to be a meat eater I'm not perfect in any way
But i was never looked on as a hero not that i ever deserve to be
Yet someone who shoots at deer on a sunday is not a hero at least not to me

A few years ago rescued with his mate from a mine shaft where another work-mate had died
They became known and celebrated Nationally and World-wide
Now he shoots at to kill deer on Sunday such are the heroes we create
Just another so called sportsman that others choose to celebrate
