A Good Hero or Evil Villain?

What is one Without the Other

By Mark Stigers Published 3 years ago 1 min read

What would a superhero be,

Without the supervillain?

Rescuing cats up a tree

Just ain’t very thrillin’.

Supervillains must be very smart.

And have a plan for what they need

Superheroes must figure the villain’s art

And be prepared for their hubris and greed

Supervillains are just misguided.

Something happened that twisted them around.

Super Heroes are more than delighted.

They fight more than stupid clowns.

So, if you are really very clever

Good and Evil are linked to one another

Don’t ask which one is better,

Ask what is one without the other?
