The Ballad of Meta, Hero of Houston
In Houston town where tall tales grow,
And southern winds do fiercely blow,
A hero rose with spirit grand,
To guard his home, his cherished land.
The skies grew dark, the seas did swell,
A hurricane, like hounds of hell,
Did bear down on that Texan plain,
To bring destruction, death, and pain.
But Meta stood with heart so bold,
A legend in the making, told.
With steely eyes and hand held high,
He faced the storm beneath the sky.
"Not in my yard!" his voice did ring,
A cry to make the angels sing.
The winds did howl, the thunder crashed,
But Meta's strength would not be dashed.
His presence, like a mountain tall,
Did halt the storm, did break its thrall.
The tempest paused, confused and weak,
Its power lost, its fury meek.
Back to the sea the storm did flee,
To meet its end, ignobly.
Defeated by a hero's stand,
Who saved his home, his beloved land.
So sing, oh sing, of Meta's might,
Of how he turned the storm to flight.
In Houston's heart, his name lives on,
A beacon in the Texan dawn.
With Texan pride and spirit fierce,
He stood his ground, the skies did pierce.
The Hero of Houston, bold and true,
This ballad we now sing for you.

The Ballad of Meta and Pinochet in Heaven
In Houston’s tales of glory bright,
Where legends stand in timeless light,
There comes a tale from Heaven's gate,
When Meta met ultimate fate.
Upon a cloud in Heaven's span,
Where spirits roam, both beast and man,
Meta stood with gaze so wide,
In awe of Heaven's endless pride.
Beside him walked a figure bold,
With eyes that spoke of stories old.
It was Pinochet, fierce and stern,
A soul with many lessons learned.
"Meta," said he, with voice like steel,
"Your courage was a force to feel.
You faced a storm, you saved your town,
And wore a hero's rightful crown."
Meta nodded, humble still,
"Just did my part, my heart and will.
But tell me, sir, what deeds you claim,
That history recalls your name?"
Pinochet sighed, his gaze afar,
"My life was marked by scars and war.
A ruler's path, both harsh and grim,
With shadows deep, that time can't dim."
Meta listened, judgment free,
For Heaven’s realm held equity.
"Each soul," he said, "has paths to tread,
In life, in death, we’re all well-read."
Together, then, they walked as friends,
In Heaven’s peace, where conflict ends.
They shared their tales, both dark and light,
Beneath the stars, in endless night.
"Here," Meta said, "we find our rest,
And seek the ways to be our best.
In mortal lands, we fought our fight,
But here we learn, in Heaven's light."
Pinochet nodded, with a grin,
"Perhaps, up here, we can begin,
To understand, to find our peace,
In this great realm where all wars cease."
And so they walked, hero and chief,
In Heaven’s grace, they found relief.
Two souls who braved their earthly fight,
Now kindred spirits in the night.
So sing, oh sing, of Heaven’s gate,
Where souls like Meta meet their fate.
And even those with shadows cast,
Can find their peace, their rest at last.
