We need imaginary supermen
to save us from a defunct society
We need sports heroes
to let us live our lives vicariously
We need action movies
to save us from a crippled and boring life
We need vigilantes
to protect us when injustice is rife
We need video games
to let us act out our fantasies
We need war
to remind us who are our enemies
We need disastrous news
to make us feel better about our own problems
We need superheros
to give control where we are powerless
We need medicine scares
to remind us of good health's precious grace
We need poetry
to save us from ourselves

And repentance to save us from hell.
Thanks for the review and comment. Can't have repentance without recognition first and that is something most don't have. Besides we may already be there.
Freakin perfect The list of luminaries that reside already in our past , present , and future worlds need no accolades real or imagined to be listed. It’s authentic. It’s notarized. It’s validated !! Slyly, then, without raised words , by the power of classic inference alone , the finale , the Showstopper w exponential Genois se quoit , is Poetry and by extrapolation the Poet is the Hero. VIVA
Thanks Bobby I appreciate the read and kind comments.
You ARE A monster.
Very witty little piece!
Thanks for your review. These passing thoughts I scribble down as they come.
love this
'We need imaginary supermen
to save us from a defunct society'
Nietzsche's entire idyllic philosophy
distilled within seven words
now that's what I call a Poetic, feat!
lol
(for that last verse
may I humbly suggest
'We need medicine, scares
reminder of good-health's, precious grace')
just a thought, forgive my rudeness
dear Poet, I mean no disrespect
