You’ll see him running from the worst the world can hurl at him
And yet he does this not for the purpose of self-preservation
But for that of those who would try to stand in his way

He never holds a weapon against those who threaten well-being
Instead offering a chance to find a peaceful solution
Against those who have only war with which to pay

This man walks one of the loneliest roads anyone will ever know
Seeking the chance to find new companions where and when he can
Unable to say for very long as the dangerous path to peace always calls

And yet, he finds the time to be all the difference to his friends
Helping to inspire them to see the good in people, and only to fight
When one has something truly worth living and dying for in all

The long trail ahead and how far he’s traveled it have aged him
And yet his heart and soul remain as young as even a child’s will
Helping keep him alive and strong to stand for what makes him him

The obstacles burn him, the people scorn him, and yet he still plows on
His true friends returning to support him when he falls
And the odds of his living through the rest of the trail seem quite slim

True love for him is hard to keep alight because of what he must do
Those who hold it for him are often unable to stay for too long
As they leave, they find another, they forget, they must stay, or they pass on

Yet no matter which outcome, he gives them the whole of his heart
Nothing but the best of himself can he give for those he falls for in love
Never meaning to use them for his purposes, never thinking of them as merely a pawn

He is known by many names in many incarnations many of us know today
He may still change with the future years and generations to come
Sometimes these incarnations know their doings, others never having a plan

But no matter who or how we know him as, one thing is for sure
The mission of his eternally travelling life never changes and never falters
As he goes through this terribly mortal life with the soul of The Good Man…
Batman, Spider-Man, The Doctor, Indiana Jones, James Bond, Dirk Pitt, Harry Potter, Sherlock Holmes, your friends, your loved ones, the stranger on the street, your future eternal lover - whoever they may be, deep down, they all have this in common.
