Heroes of Lore

... and at our lowest moment
when all seems hopeless
up from the bosom of yesterday
comes the legendary
Argento Man

Clad in florescent silver lamé
his flowing mane now totally gray
matches his fashion ensemble perfectly
as his evil adversaries
let out a collective groan

They are finished
and they knew it
for even they
deep down in their wretched souls
realize this ancient warrior
will not be corrupted
or compromised
by their arsenal
of assorted lecherous vices
that had sapped the powers
of all the morally flawed superheroes
they had vanquished before 

Once the villains are conquered
and their evil schemes foiled
Argento Man rides off into the sunset
to rejoin the other retired icons
whose noble deeds of heroism
with each passing year diminish
deeper into the shadows 
of lost and forgotten myths
