Just Another Local Legend

welcome to 2014 & my world .. every word is true .. I didn't want him to be forgot .. he deserves a whole lot more ..

ever since
he began repeating
himself ..
his friends began
to call him echo ..
later when he
began to talk both
to himself
and in tongues they
all laughed at him ..
later still
when he saw
something dark
in each
of them, they first
became
wary and then,
very frightened ..
so they all agreed
to banish him ..
sometime later tho
when he tried
to stop
a locomotive from
ploughing into
their VW camper
with them all in it
and he 
perished in so doing ..
he suddenly
became a martyr,
a legend
and a local hero
all rolled into one ..

Nev, evidently a poignant write and one from your heart and unbreakable memory.
Some people in life are NEVER forgotten, the indelible mark they make and rightfully so.
See you soon my friend and kudos with respect to your pen and yourself for sharing.
