Super heroes

The stories of legends since the childhood you have been told

Conventional hero who swoops in to save the day is sold

The protagonist may have amazing strength or mind beyond brilliance

Or with the infinity he may have sworn alliance

In comics the alter-ego of such exemplar may be a pesky old man

But when he puts on the cape he is able to fly

But pragmatically speaking ‘he’ comes in all genders

Anyone is a knight who is the defender

As his stories of greatness the curious eyes read

Warrior is anyone who comes to the rescue at the time of need

In real world super heroes don’t have muscles or wings

They are not paragons of justice or kings

A paladin is anyone who can bring about a change

He may be deemed eccentric, odd or strange

The heroes aren’t the champions but the coaches of the race

They strive to make this world a better place

No matter how many times they fail they once try

Because heroes in real life don’t wear tights and capes, they give people wings to fly…
