The time is ripe, my friends

For Halloween,

And we'll come between

Our heroes and their happy end.

Tis kindness, not cruelty,

For strong as they are

They will not go far

Without some self-discovery.


I call my main villain

And set him a trail

With hope to prevail

Against genetics and his kin.

He stews in frustration,

Unable to shake

Off the shame and take

Revenge on his father nation.


The heroes live meanwhile

Fighting for justice,

Failing to impress

With their costumes and lack of guile.

Helping police and fire,

Saving limb and life,

Minimizing strife,

Showing hope and justice don't tire.


Crossed desires and motives,

Villain jealousy

Of gift given free.

If taken, how much would they give?

The clock begins to tick.

Powers given fade.

Hope can be remade,

Forged stronger, but they must be quick.
