Superman

A lean physique Born to compete A champion athlete Blessed with unnatural talent A gift so unique A manner so oblique A marathon in a single step A phenomenon no man scan stop A gladiator to Olympians Winter and summer, his games Sightseeing Tour de France He quenched his thirst in the Caribbean Sea Sculptured his sculpture atop Everest’s highest peak He built his sand castle on the highest dune in the Sahara Vacationing every summer in Nuuk to cool off A ladder to giants A shoulder to leaning towers A bridge to trailblazers His topaz eyes ever focused A survival instinct converted A primordial drive perverted He glides on his stride A monster to his opponents A grizzly bear to those who dare A teddy bear for those who care A dominator to the dominant Force, the punisher to the brave To the fool who dares keep a slave He stands poised Content, correct Elated, erect Elite Ready to transform Ever ready to perform His movement a force field A commander to the superior, To yield The Gods admire his great efforts He seeks neither riches nor comforts The man of steel, never tired A winner, never tied We call him the Superman, But in reality, he’s no man A hero to the alpha male A savour to the world He spits seeds of gold and glory Second to none, never bitter He lives for the lives of the vulnerable and weak For the emancipation of helpless and sick He lives for Lois Lane For her love he has no shame
