The Death Of Superman Poem by Kumbirai Thierry Nhamo

A hero fell that day
A symbol of hope no more
The world lost its ray
And darkness came ashore

The skies were gray and bleak
As the people wept in pain
Their hearts had a leak
And tears fell like heavy rain

The Man of Steel was gone
Leaving behind a void
The world felt so alone
No hero could fill those shoes, oh! What a shame!

His cape was tattered and torn
His shield was mighty, but it failed
The world felt so forlorn
As his mighty strength was curtailed

He fought till his last breath
Bravely facing his foe
But death crept upon him with stealth
Leaving the world in woe

The sun felt so dull
A pall hung over it high
The world grew so still
As it bid a sad goodbye

No more flying through the skies
No more coming to our aid
Our hero left us to sigh
Our world was forever changed

The villains rejoiced in glee
Their biggest threat was gone
The world was no longer free
An era of darkness had dawned

The people shouted and wept
Their voices a chorus of sorrow
Their hearts so deeply affected
As they wonder how to face tomorrow

The city mourned his loss
The streets were dressed in black
His name became a legend
A story to recount and track

The Justice League wept and cried
Their leader was no more
Their hope and strength had died
The world was forever sore

Lois Lane was left to grieve
Her lover and friend was gone
Her heart was broken and reeve
And her soul became forever torn

The world came to a standstill
As its hero was buried deep
His memory remained the thrill
As the people began to weep

His legacy would remain
A symbol of hope forevermore
His name would forever reign
In the land where he fought before

His deeds would be remembered
His courage would be praised
His strength would be celebrated
In the land where he once had grazed

The world would never forget
The Man of Steel who fell
His story etched in stone is set
So the world can forever tell

The world became a darker place
Without its shining light
Its hero had left this space
Taking away its only knight

The world would move on
But its heart would always ache
Its hope and spirit gone
As its people try to remake

The world still looks up to the skies
Hoping to see its hero return
Its heart still filled with cries
As its pain continues to burn

The world lost its Man of Steel
Its heart left in despair
Its hope struggling to heal
As it seeks to find a new hero to bear.
