A New Superhero
By day, a poet who writes
By evening, one who fights
For the good of all, the protector of the weak.
Stay on rooftops, many stories high
Descend to the ground, from the sky
If evil is there, it will be that, I will be sure to seek
There! A maiden in distress!
Evil, ripping at her dress.
Here I go to save her and send him far away.
Upon the ground, at this hour
Evil, defeated by my power
This beautiful maiden has chance for a better day.
Her smile, she gave gratefully
She could not stop thanking me
For this act of kindness, I had chosen to do.
“It was nothing, ma’am”, I surely said
Now that evil was defeated and has fled
“Just remember, I’ll always be watching out for you”
