A Hero Without A Cape
By Nightshade •
Today I wore my cape with pride,
felt the fabric touch my elbows,
as it waved in the wind.
My cape is like a flag,
it symbolizes justice,
yet justice isn't fair.
I fight against my villains,
yet I don't always win,
my cape keeps on flying,
in hopeless wind.
One day evil snatched my cape,
they tore it from my shoulders,
not a sound I made at those whose good was smouldered.
What was once justice is now an opponent,
my heroic cape was stolen.
A hero without a cape,
yeah, I know it's pointless.
