you'd need a tremendous self-confidence to be a super hero

I mean really, those crazy costumes that they have to wear

real women, real men, couldn’t look nearly so good in them

and their catch phrases that they’re almost always repeating

you couldn't say them in real life in any way, shape or form

even their incessant victories are beyond the realm of belief

no person can rescue every single situation every single time

and their cataclysmic battles must impact property values

to the point that no one’d want to live anywhere near them

nope

the only Superhero that I’ve ever found didn’t need a cape

He wore the same clothes you and I would wear to market

owned the self-assurance of the only One who has no peer

He had no pithy catch phrase, but an amazing, glorious hope
“Come to Me with all your burdens, and I will give you rest”

in the greatest battle He ever fought, He bore the cost Himself

suffered all the damage, shared with us all the spoils of war

and, while He told us “I’ll be back”, it was His firm promise

of life to those who loved Him, death to those who didn’t
