God Amongst Humans [Superman]**
-James Desire

The weight of the world lies upon his shoulders
He falls to his knees trying to support their needs
He’s overpowered but won’t concede
His will is too strong to accept defeat

He needs to get back up
The cries and pleads have successfully infiltrated his mind,
Slowly revealing an emotion he refused to emit
Fear
He was strength to all that looked up to him
But look at him now
Kneeling to the pressures of the world when it needed him most
He had become more human than anyone thought possible

Doubt poisons his mind
“I’m not good enough,
Could a world inflicted by so much violence really become utopia?
Could one man with all my efforts to help, make that difference?
Can I change the world?”
He isn’t sure that he can
But he gathers his strength and will try again and again
Because the world needs an example
The world needs a superman…
