Lagumbay.com Reflections on Love, Rage, and Fear

Supervillain

Posted by Allan in Verse -- Rage on March 16, 2004 7:29 pm

Are you nothing more than nothing –
Cannon-fodder, poster child of failure,
Alienated outcast, evil
Rebel trouble-maker, dark imposing figure?

Lost an edge, convinced of being
Less than what you really are
By (cough) “Suppressing Figures” Super-Secret
Personal agendas — depressed aspiring Superstar

Wronged and vengeful vigilante
Selfish and self-righteous bastard masked
In meekness hidden in the daylight hours –
Your passive-aggressive id and ego perpetually taxed.

Those visions of a brighter day,
Of “Shock the World” and “justice served” are good
But kindred soul, the means by which you seek
These goals are heavily misunderstood.
