Inanity

It seems
we want a SUPERMAN
to lead and save us
from the world’s insanity
not someone
of mere humanity
but someone closer
to a god

Yet if
there’s an array
of one
carried away
with dogmatic display
then we wish to defray
all he might convey

We stand
in the gap
setting our trap
shouting much flap
and calling it a wrap
while we seek
to banish him away

Yep
we want him
almost Godly
but oddly
we get up in arms
as we deal with our alarm
that he might do us harm
if we let him have his way.

“Here he comes to save the day!”
NO WAY!!

and even our would be Superman,
alas, was human
and had to leave this world

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
