Lance Armstrong,
Superman

You just can’t stop me, don’t even try.
I’m exactly like Superman, flying high.

Mighty, I know that I can’t be stopped,
I know that I will keep going, right to the top.

You just can’t stop me, don’t even try.
I look down on the world with a view from the sky.

Determined, I’m sure I’ll keep going strong
I’m gonna keep pushing, chugging along.

You just can’t stop me don’t even try.
Don’t ask me the reason, don’t ask me why.

Courageous I’m here and defending my turf.
I’m riding the wave, on top of the surf.

You just can’t stop me, please, don’t try.
Ya know, I’m not Superman, just a regular guy.

I would like you to note, before you leave here today,
it was fun while it lasted. If you want, you can stay.

Then no one could stop us, both you and the new I.
We’d be exactly like superheroes, just like old times.


The author's comments:
I have written this poem as a narrative about the relationship of Lance Armstrong and the American people. He had highs with his skill, because he was doping behind closed doors, but then someone accuses him of cheating, and he “defends his turf” until, recently where he has come clean to journalist and reporter Oprah Winfrey, but now he wants us to come back to him and be his friends and fans once again. I was inspired to write this piece by the recent events surrounding armstrong.
