The Chocolate Hero  
 


My armor is but cardboard
and my sword is made of tin;
while my stallion is a broomstick
horse
and my shield a coffee lid.

I am the Don Quixote
of the churches
sent to rescue souls from demons
and save them from a dragon.

To go is to die,
but to fight is to try,
so I ride across the desert
in search of lost souls

and hope that somehow
I may find my own.

Spiritual Borg
1994
