A Poem About Superpowers of Every Stripe
Superpowers surge through humble hominids
With the same frequency as common sunshine
Yet present peasant people forget.
Under the grand grind
Of silicon social media and capitalistic cog work
Serfdom’s syndicate of selfish self-interest
Uses their supervision to sap us into stunted sadness.
Hear me, star-cousins, for we are not slaves to the clock
But rather seeded with superb star potential
Not mere celebrity, do not fall for the flirtations of wealth and capital,
Rather, fly into yourself
Soar inwards through royal violet yonder
Glistening with the glamorous glory the universe intends for thee.
My greatest superpower in this life
Is that the Fates bestowed me with Sky-Father’s eyes
Merely that I might recognize
The everyday rarities of a human hero that can mesmerize:
Family’s fortitude,
fostering rays of love to beam forth from a child’s cared-for cries;
Commonplace creativity,
Melding messed-up experience
With crafted skill into collections of soul coherence;
Pounds of progress,
Built on a generational tower of technology and intellectual innovation,
Exponentially increasing prosperity potential for all peoples.
These are your powers, star-cousins,
These and many more magical acts
You access with every day grace.
In the cynicism and servitude of your saintly struggle,
You seem to forget your own superpowers
But I see you for the sensational superior star-cousins that you are,
Supreme and stark against the depths that are dark in this world.
Your light refracts through mine eyes,
Swirling away stagnation, revealing rainbows of radiance in the possibilities of our people
Precious, lovely light that nourishes my imagination with rain of every resonant color
My optimism is the opportunity to witness your opulence.
Star-cousins, never forget the way you shine
For it is your cornucopia of colors that I wear as my cape
It is you that teaches me how to fly
