Not All Heroes Wear Capes


WE NEED A CORROBORATED ACCOUNT

OF THE PREDICAMENT THAT SURROUNDS US,

AS THE CONCEPTION OF SUPERMAN,

ONLY IF CAPES COULD WORK!


INASMUCH THE PSYCHOLOGICAL DISTRESS,

AND THE VISIBLE WOUNDS OF PHYSIOLOGY,

THE ONLY ENDEAVOUR ONE COULD HARNESS,

IS THE SAME AS ANY OTHER


LOOKS BY THE VERY DEFINITION OF SUPERMAN,

CAPES EVOLVED TO BE COATS AND SPIRITS LIFTED

FOR THE WORK OF PROTECTION IS NO LESS THAN THAT OF A SOLDIER,

THE GENEALOGY MATCHES ONLY VALUES SHIFTED


REGARD YOURSELF ANOTHER SUPERMAN,

THAT RESIDES WITHIN YOUR PSYCHE

CONTAINING YOU TILL THE VERY ENDS

FOR HE WHO FALLS HAS TO GET UP AGAIN,

WE NEED YOU SUPERMAN!




 

As we all couldn’t deny the fact of the devastation the ongoing pandemic has wrought, the need to look at the other side increases. Times haven’t been easy, and there’s no way around this fact. But we have done this before, we are not in the least suggesting that it’s the same, its not by any means, the same. But the mental framework that we needed back then and which we need now, is the same. The mental process that we use to get out of any pain be it mental or physical, is the same. The superman that somewhere lives inside our psyche, is now needed to contain us in the face of suffering. And personally, I believe when this is over, we’d come out stronger than ever. And the medical staff, the nurses, the doctors and anyone who is working in those fields is no less than a soldier at these times. If anything, we can try looking after ourselves and take responsibility.
