"Good Evening Sweetie," Pops wrote as he had done for so many moons before.  "Here's my 12-year challenge, but for the wimps I called it "The 30-Day Challenge."  Although I'm hoping to offend someone, what I'm really looking for are people, businesses, media, schools, and universities who want to take on the 12 year challenge.  I'm ready to run in a pack with them.  "To December 10, 2030 and beyond!" I say.  The game is easy to play.  

"Who is Your Hero?"

“Angel Shot out of Sky”
“Space Alien Sighted Stealing Pies”
What is Truth and what are lies?
Media is best when it tries
Working like a CSI
Truth in hand
Makes lives expand
 
We’re tired of rape, abuse, murder, and war
When will we know of these things no more?
Has it ever happened before?
Or will we be the first to open that door?
We cant keep going from negative to zero
At the end of the day, who is your hero?
 
There’s killing and dealing and stealing and more
My God we’re afraid to walk out our door
Why do we do it; what’s it all for?
If we have to watch news, prepare for The Bore
The guts and the blood
As if there is a flood
At the end of the day, who is your hero?
Or should we swallow a red pill just like that cool guy named Neo
 
We’re tired of rape, abuse, murder, and war
Will they feel offended if we don’t name more? 
Hey aren’t you my brother
Don’t you come from mother?
We have a lot to get caught up on
Like once upon 
a magical time
appeared the rhyme that you couldn't buy on prime. 
Do I sound smug
If I could ask for a hug?
And now finally
We are The Family
Or should we swallow a red pill just like that cool guy named Neo
At the end of the day, who is your hero?
 
We’re tired of rape, abuse, murder, and war
Is it enough to mention these four?
Hey aren’t you my sister
Don’t you come from mother?
We have a lot to get caught up on
Like once upon
a magical time
appeared the rhyme that you couldn't buy on prime. 
Do I sound smug
If I ask for a hug?
And now finally
We are The Family
Or should we swallow a red pill just like that cool guy named Neo
At the end of the day, who is your hero?
 
They did a good job at showing what’s wrong
But we’re looking for a brand new song
To show us something that we long
Like of a future date
That we all can’t wait
Like a balanced ball
Like an adventure call
 
A challenge to you we will make
It will be something that you can’t fake
Show us your film just one frame per day,
Some words, one video, and one picture, what do you say?
How do you see the pretty Earth planet?
Would it be different if you had planned it?
At the end of the day, who would be your heroes?
What film could you make till twenty thirty zero? 
 
Show us something that we long
Give us reasons to write a new song
Hmmm, maybe we don’t need the ‘Media’
Just like our old encyclopedias
We’re quickly getting footage with all of our frames
We’re feeling lucky and we just might get fame
At the end of the day, who are our most viewed heroes?
Maybe we can train a few more cool dudes like Neo
Now that you asked the list just keeps growing
But for now, here’s heroes we could all be knowing
We’re making our heroes immortalized
That’s why they have all been italicized   
 
The people like  Sereena, Sabrina, Dubai Schools, the Voolas, Greta, Boyan, Bali Girls and Marino
It’s 'You are Loved,' Plastic change, Blue Skies, All Related, 4Ocean and Nahko
They are prayer, Ocean Elders, Pyrogenesis, Rising Appalachia, Kirsten and Katrina
It’s Thomas Train, Greys, Mereike, Peace Makers, Roger, GeniusU, Bucky and Nixiwaka
They are Dunn, Hicks, Michelle, Graham, Silva, Freedom, Plasma, The Script, and Nas Daily
It’s The Greatest Showman, Campbell, Dalai, Houston, Black Eyed Peas, and Solli
They are Chief Golden Light Eagle, One Funny Mother, and Loreena
It’s the Script, World Children’s Day, Hawking, Plasma and Medina
 
Don’t like the 'film' were making, just one frame per day?
Where is yours? What did you say?
Would you try it for at least 30 days? 
Our film keeps getting longer but a trailer will do
Because it’s the future we want to pursue
We will share each hero
On the Journey to twenty thirty zero
Are you up for the challenge or even The Call?
You know the begging question; Will you answer at all? 

Hope you like that one,

​Love Pops"
