If I were a
superhero
It’s not
just one
But many I
would ask for .
Power to
wither down injustice
Power to end
wars .
To make
people smile for reasons so silly
To freshen
up again a dried up lily .
Vanish away
a rich baron’s golden anklet
Steal the glamor
from a proud starlet .
Fill it up
in the palms of those
Who spend
their lives carving for few more .
To open up gates
of ice cream stores
For kids of
all ages staring outside glass doors .
To let
everyone’s taste buds feast for a while
With chicken
, paneer and double egg rolls .
To harbor
hopeful rays
Even in
glistening summer noon
Fulfilling
promises not late but too soon .
Shielding up
women from dirty lustful looks
Punishing
perpetrators diminishing crooked crooks .
Making
people value emotions more in life
Forgetting
daily squabbles in the blink of an eye .
How soothing
life would be for each one out there
When all
live in peace and get their deserving share .
Though we
are not superheroes
Still let’s
seek
To make
lives a little better
Being humane
enough
And not
maddening selfish freaks .
