Trials And Tribulations Of Being Superman Poem by Kumbirai Thierry Nhamo

Trials And Tribulations Of Being Superman

Rating: 5.0


Flying high, with strength and might
Superman soars through day and night
A hero to all, with powers true
But his greatest foe, is being Superman too

The weight of the world upon his chest
As he tries to keep the world at its best
Saving lives, fighting crime
A never-ending race against time

The glare of the sun on his face
As he tries to keep up with the pace
Of a world that never seems to rest
And always puts his powers to the test

The loneliness that he endures
As he keeps his secret and ensures
That his humanity is never revealed
And his powers are never to be sealed

But even heroes have their lows
As Superman can attest and knows
The burden of power can be heavy and steep
As he longs for the normalcy his powers reap

The lure of isolation can be strong
As he tries to keep his emotions from going wrong
With the weight of his power on his mind
And the world he must protect, never to leave behind

The trials and tribulations of being Superman
Are endless as he tries to maintain his plan
To save the world from the evil and the pain
That threatens to bring it down in vain

But through it all, he never gives up hope
As he maintains his oath to serve and cope
With the trials that come and go
And the ever-shifting winds that blow

For Superman is more than just a hero
He's an icon, a symbol, and a force to be reckoned with, oh
A shining light in a world of darkness and fear
A beacon of hope that keeps the world near

So let us hail Superman, through thick and thin
For he represents the best of what we humans bring in
Strength, courage, and a heart full of love
That he shares with the world so beautiful that it's blessed from above.

When i was a kid, i collected all the bullets which bounced off of Superman's chest and landed on our living room floor in front of our black & white televison.

'That his humanity is never revealed'....how about 'human form' or 'humanness'? I don't THINK OF 'humanity' as the condition of being human, but I guess some people do.
