My Heroes Wear Spandex!
A Poem By: Joey Palluconi
As you may already know heroes can come in all shapes
And some even wear capes
Some carry badges and guns
Others leave our hearts stunned
Some leap off of pages and others set their stages
Well to your surprise my heroes wear spandex and fight monsters from nightmarish cages
They transform in an intense fashion and enter the heat of battle with passion
They fight the monsters of our fears so that we may still be with our peers
They carry outrageous weapons to match their powerful spirit
So that they may face the gates of death even though others may fear it
With the powers of magic or science they fight for us with all their hearts
In the end they always get their man in an exciting giant monster fights throughout the worlds many parts
These heroes are of course fictional but to me they are nothing of the sort
So what if they defy the barriers of realties impenetrable fort
No matter what has been set
They are never ending heroes that I am glad to have met
They are my heroes because under it all they have the will to fight
They hold on tight and never let go of what is right
No matter how strange a battle gets the villains will never escape they’re might
They have taught me much and even though their war is so strange
In my heart I know that they will never change
They learn and grow and become the heroes that we all want to be
So I hope that you all can see
My heroes wear spandex and I’m glad to be their fan because all heroes do what they can
I hope that you know that it doesn’t matter who your heroes are
Even if they are “just” a T.V. Star
As long as they show you all that you can be well then my friend you have the key to all that can see.
