"Heroic"

"For the sake of peace"
"In the name of faith"
"In an act of piety,"
"HE"
"opens the gates"

"Selflesness,"
"Courage,"
"Bravery,"
are all equal parts
of "The Story"

But so is the "Opposition,"
the naysaying "OTHER"

(regardless of what is said,
that is, details are such a bother)

Now that believing depends
largely on the "telling,"
"heroic sacrifice"
notwithstanding
Would it even be heroic
if nobody was watching?
