[創作] Why the World Needs Superman
一首長篇英雄史詩 ^. ^
Overture:
A half-decade odyssey to Krypton
Ignited Clark's solitary quest
For truth–if anything.
I. A trek to the wasteland
Lone wolf as he is, never could he desperately
Refrain from roaming the cosmic plateau
So cragged, lurid, and barren.
Howling and growling at stolid meteors
Floating aimlessly to a black void
Fraught with simmering anguish,
He knelt down caressing remnants
Of the cradle wherein he was morphed
Into a tiny, lovable, yet promising creature.
Harken! Harken! Harken!
Shai struck the chords of tragedy so grim,
With mocking notes and ferocious rhythms
That stung relentlessly – and hysterically –
All that he ought to shoulder alone.
"My son," benignly whispered Jor-El.
"Take heart and listen to the ditty of courage
We once chanted in tandem,
Like a garrilous creek refreshing and
Purifying our ever sinful souls.
Rembmer, my boy:
A coda may spell antoher intro
That blooms with the breeze of hope.
Come back to where you also belong, and
Let there be justice and peace.”
II. The ultimate sacrifice
Five years apart
Stirred a vortex of contradiction
That agonized past memories so sweet–
Possessed was Lois, struggling to
Forget yet never ceasing to dream.
"A love triangle so painful
Shall never make love complete
And smooth but fragmented,"
Warbled Clark, with bleeding heart.
"Let me invite you to a
Moonlight waltz as we did.
And I shall bid farewell,
My dear, and journey on.”
III. The perilous duel
There revived the apparition
Of the long forgotten past–forgotten
But never forgiven.
Lex Luthor, the axis of evil,
Summoned his dark forces
To infuse the sublunar terrain
With horrendous hues of doom.
Hatched was a scheme of
Genocidal demolition so rapacious.
Afar rose the unsettling percussions
Of battle drums above the horizon;
Dolphins rendered an ensemble
Of such an apocalyptic requiem
That Stonehenge even shuddered
At the prewar snafus.
A chaste cavalier so magnificent,
With a crimson, swishing cape,
Clark rode the wind as Poseidon,
Who wielded a troop of charging waves.
Leaving light dragging behind,
He came to rescue the world feeble,
Like Aragorn's war-savvy sword
Redeeming Middle-earth
From Sauron's iron claws.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Lights fainted as
Clouds melted and winds shattered.
The Fire with flames of salvation
Gored the Ice of ultimate demolition so hard.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Crumbled was the Fortress of Solitude
For the wicked man with his minions,
Conjured the deadly black art,
Exorcising demons of kryptonite–
Leeched was Clark's Achilles's heel.
IV. The grand resurrection
To silence and stab
The heart of hellish racket,
The man of steel–enshrouded
In an endlessly haunting incubus–
Hovered over the zenith of sheer darkness.
An eternal nightmare or
Just a light-hearted drama?
Father! Father! Father!
Why do you forsake me?
Can you feel me?
Stumbling through the valley of Death,
He heard nothing but
The Banshee's seductive ballad
Worshiping the glory of hatred–
Accompanied by a brush of
Thick purple haze–a satanic maze?
The unselfish dedication to mankind
Warmed his fragile heart, like the Sun
Whispering hymns of blessings
Upon Nature's most sensitive ears.
Succumb to the lure of demon not.
A dawn of victory shall rekindle
The Promethean torch once dimmed–
Fluttering and rising was
The eagle of unmatched courage–
The world rejoinced, quivoring.
V. A brave new world
Gone and missing as he is again,
He shall be alone
But not lonely–of course.
The "S"–Super?
Or Soul, Spirit, Salvation or Saint?–
Shall be engraved ad infinitum
Upon our weary mind,
Like a tiny seed of courage
That sprouts when we shed tears
Of despair and sorrow.
