Comic book reality

 


We reside in a warped

comic book universe.

Where heroes and villain take to the air.

Good and evil live amongst us,

the heroes are emotions flying majestically.

The villains are fear, laughing maniacally.

 

Soaring above we have the masked

wonder that is love.

Who it is? Nobody knows.

A secret identity hidden

deep within the prose,

but when they spring to action

your heartbeat grows

and through your head

sweet thoughts will flow.

 

Stood silhouetted by the moon

are hope and ambition,

the caped creators of our visions,

they inspire in you, a fire of belief.

A spark so brief you barely feel its touch

warming the heart hidden underneath,

but it is a rush that no drug could ever reach.

When obstacles obscure your view,

The pairing will come bounding to rescue you.

To teach, to show that inner strength

which has always lived within you,

before they bound off again

into the ever long rain,

hearing the anguish of someone new.

 

Sat perched upon rooftops,

beside the gargoyles keeping watch

is trust, coated in their golden armour.

A suit of honour.

They show the path to follow.

Their words are never hollow,

only ever speaking in truth.

Down in the alleyway is peace.

The one who never fights.

Solving any problems, not with fists but

with thoughtful flights of imaginary fancy.

 

But alongside these heroes we also have villains,

concealed deep in the shadows,

or some hidden facility

where evil deeds become reality.

When they reveal themselves

Our heroes have to unite as one.

The fearsome five also call this place home,

this bustling metropolis where lost souls still roam.

Hate, rage, anger, horror and fear

A force of menace. Only here to inspire

the worst aspects of the human ideal,

with a click of their fingers, they create wars

Breed inferiority, make you feel

that honesty is a fallacy

and that rinsing people is the only way

To live a life in the hustle of the city.

 

They inspire hatred of others,

with just a special set of whispered words

They make brother hate brother,

sister distrust sister. They create friction

that brings blisters to souls of hope,

and what's more, they hate fiction.

they see that it paints them

in their true horror show reality.

 

So, when doubt creeps in,

henchmen awaiting to make you feel

the walls are closing.

When the sweat starts to pour

rapidly from your brow

as you can now see no outcome

where you step out alive.

Cast that light in the sky,

the heart beamed up high

and before you know it

our heroes will be there by your side.

To help in this eternal fight

between wrong and right. Darkness and light,

The world of words and the one of spite.
