We are all born heroes
But few maintain their titles
Voices whisper, unheard
Voices shout, but are silenced
Empty shadows line the walls
Which once displayed the work
Of true minds
Dreams are trampled upon
Shattered like glass upon
The pavement
Ideas are burned to
Brilliant ash
What substance resists hardship?
What trait can overcome all obstacles?
It is not known
For we are the heroes
Yet we are left
To ponder
In the dark.

If i understand your poem correctly... then i agree with what you're trying to say... but i also wanted to add that i very much liked your questions... those are the hardest to write about, questions that have no answers or perhaps have answers we cannot find.
