Does the World Really Need a Superman?

Who needs a Superman? Flying amongst the sky day & night protecting over us 24-7, slamming corrupt criminals in jail and defying the limititations of mankind? Yes, he was all of our favorite. From his first comic book debut to his first television appearance and recent 2006 reemergence. We love the guy! Generous, charming, helpful, always tells the truth and will bend over backwards to save a soul; no matter how tarnished any of us are.

But let's be real for a minute, do we as a society really deserve all of that?

We need a Superman but we don't deserve it.... Face it, were already lazy, underachieving, settle for less, "my way or the highway", "move it or lose it" type of people as is. There's no way that this man of limitless ability could cater to us all. Instead of exploring Krypton for five years, he'd never come back. Luckily, he's safer on the movie screen then in actual life. Poor Sup would get run into the ground by this place.

We need a Superman but we don't deserve it... Women would flock to him like vultures over road-kill. Our girlfriends, wives, fiancées and prospects would always talk about him, dream about him and accidentally call his name out in the bedroom. Sooner or later, we'd men riley together in jealousy and in search of kryptonite incased in led to the fortress of solitude to kick his blue-ass. We would even go as far as revealing his secret identity in hopes of getting him fired for excessive leave requests.

We need a Superman but we don't deserve it... his legendary status would eventually draw envy, with the majority of his enviers screaming, "What about me?" He'd get free breakfast, lunch, dinner, movie passes, electronics, amusement park entrances and everything else you could think of.

We need a Superman but we don't deserve it... he would never have any peace.. Presidents & Militaries would continuously try to draft him as a special intelligence agent to spy on other countries and gather information for proposed attacks. Not to mention, they'd try taxing him for flight.

We need a Superman but we don't deserve it... we have more local community liquor stores than healthy food and gym joints to keep our hero and residents in better shape. Sooner or later his "S" would shape into "D" for Damn. Jorel would turn over in his grave!

We need a Superman but we don't deserve it... The man would never get any rest. As much crime and political warfare there is all across the world we would call upon him for the easiest tasks:

"Superman, hand me that wrench."

"Superman, can you lift this car over to Meineke?"

"Superman, I am running a little late for work, can you take me."

"Superman, that guy is making fun of me."

"Superman, whats the square root of 49?"

"Superman, can you hand my resume into the daily planet?

"Superman, read this psychology book and give me the jist of it."

"Superman, how does this dress look?"

"Superman can you rub my back?"

"Superman can you open this jar of peanut butter for me?"

"Alright Superman I'll make a deal with you. If you help me wash the dishes, I swear I won't tell anybody your real name." By the time this poor legend finishes serving mankind, he's going to fly the f*** away with a baldhead, baby-mama-drama, half a cape loss to repossession, pack a Newport's and a forty ounce.

We need a Superman but we don't deserve it... as often as other villains come looking for him, we would sell him out faster than a guilty suspect looking for lesser time.

We need a Superman but we don't deserve it... we'd take less precaution in our everyday lives in thought that this gentleman will save us. We'll drive faster, we'll skydive more often, we'll participate in highly dangerous stunts and pray he's watching.

We need a Superman but we don't deserve it... we would talk sh*t about him and forget that he can hear. Cursing his name because he flew over top of us and didn't wave. "That Sumb*tch, think he's so cool."

We need a Superman but we don't deserve it... sports and weather would become more controversial than they already are. We'll blame him for the missed field goals due to excessive wind, blame him for excessive cold/hot temperatures, blame him for causing tornados, blame him for global warming, etc..

We need a Superman but we don't deserve it... Superman would be blamed for the death of innocent victims because he was late, accused of unsolved and mysterious crimes, accused of showing favoritism, accused of being racist, accused of being sexist, accused of being arrogant, accused of being a republican, accused of being a democrat, accused of keeping our kids out after dark, accused of seducing our lovers, accused of keeping secrets, accused of being gay for vowing to defend the planet and not committ to a relationship, accused of causing the world more grief than it already has..
