Real Vs Fake

 

Reel heroes can be very impressive

chests strutting, takes on

ten opponents single handedly 

shouts out challenging lines to villain 

It is when they have to face situations

in real life, that they stand exposed 

reel heroes run away when the going gets tough

the one who wanted to do everything himself

runs away, distributing problems

for others to handle... 

 

Never trust, confuse reel heroes for the real ones

you do so at your own peril

empty lines and chest thumping

can be of very little use 'real time' 

after all, you cannot eat, satiate hunger

from  a  sumptuous meal
