Lame Power

Not impressive? Not attractive?
It’s brutally nonaligned to your stature
It doesn’t  appeal to your senses?
‘cause the same never attracts.

So, what if superpowers would be lame?
They wouldn’t have lacked in all constructive ways
But the idealness still would have remained the same
Because the void cannot surpass the opaque.

The power to reveal and not to unveil
Lameness would have unlocked every case
The charismatic leader would be on common grounds
Adhering to the core, foregrounding the real drenched in pernicious.
