The World Needs Batman

by thomas-newlove

The world needs a hero. Someone who can steer us In the right direction. The world is fucked, Out of luck, divided by factions, Borders, rules, laws and orders, Created by selfish fucks. Dirty politicians. Men who treat human beings like fractions. Corrupt. The kind of over-the-top villains you read about in comic books. Or maybe it came to be by the Almighty all-seeing fuck. Another dastardly, bastard who is as ridiculous as he sounds or the world looks. Who decides who lives or dies like a dictator murdering for sport or kicks. He (because it's always a "he") picks which child kicks the bucket And which rich, white man gets the luck. The world needs Batman. Not a bad man with a bad plan To rid the world of different colours, customs, looks. We don't need several bland, blonde shades of white. We need the Dark Knight. Someone to fight and rid the Joker from his rise. Someone to take back what was taken, what they took. Bad jokes everyday that make you choke On the water that you suck as you watch the morning news. A fish dangling on the media's hook. You can't breathe but contradictorily you can't help but be amused At the crazy things he's said or done. The media controls our mind, our thoughts. We've been bought by the capitalist system that we took To be our salvation. We need to look forward as one world, one nation And fix all the massive cracks and little nooks. And pray that when it's time he doesn't win. And pray that the Earth doesn't reject it's kin, By punishing the people who did it wrong. We need to learn from our perpetual mistake song And act before the world dies When big business lies, and the waters rise, And we continue to drive and live off burgers and meat pies. We need a hero who can fix the mess Who looks like Christian Bale or Adam West, Who can fight for human rights and save the day, And still have time for dinner by candlelight With ladies without groping them for kicks For not all men exclusively think with their dicks. Just the ones with big egos, small brains and smaller pricks. So we need action, we need a plan! Some way to finally stick it to the Man. A way to fix environmental disaster, A way to feed the starving and the masses Without death and destruction fattening our asses And eating up the planet on a platter. We need to find a way to cure disease And stop the greedy, bring them to their knees And act to put our collective minds at ease. So what's my grand suggestion for this plan? When you vote, you vote with what feels right Not what's comfortable or written on a t-shirt - At first it could be difficult and may hurt, But it's essential for the future to be bright. Look to the skies at every possible night, And give the stars and clouds a thorough scan, And when you find that eerie, striking, stark light That issues the coming of a dark knight Make sure you give your vote to Batman.

Notes

Bit of a rough beat-poem. I got the idea from a tweet that said: "Clowns terrorising the street. A real life billionaire villain running for president. We need you Batman"
