AIM HERO

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

Home doesn't really feel like home when the person meant to be your fortress is just a guest star in your life. "AIM HERO" is a poetic journey through the eyes of a child who sees his absent father through the lens of a comic book—a "Superman" who is legendary for his power but notorious for his exit. The poem captures those rare, lightning-bolt moments when the hero swoops in to save the day from "super villains" like the harsh BOSS or the sting of a stepmother’s slap. It’s a world of ice cream, magic carpets, and "laser eye screams" where everything feels "happy as kings and queens" for a split second. But the magic is always cut short. The heartbreak lies in the recurring silence: "But before ni say a word ulitake flight." It’s the story of a child waving "asante" to a trailing cape and a puff of wind, left to face the "DOOM" of everyday life alone. This isn't just about a superhero; it’s about the haunting reality of a father who provides the "treats" but can’t seem to provide the time, leaving the child to find his own aim in a world where his savior is always "up, up, and away."

Chapter 1

AIM HERO

Wanasemanga superman ni lair,

Na the more we say it tuna suffer,

That’s why naamka in chains,

Nikichpwa back cains,

Na my super villain,

BOSS,

Yani commander.

Niliuliza are you a bird?

Or a plane?

But ulifly up up and away,

Ukamsava from danger,

Ukanishow never take candy from a stranger,

Ukakuwa my everyday savior,

From

COUGH,

Na kuparara,

But befor ni say a word ulitake flight.

Nlikuwa on my way home nmenyeshewa kama worm,

Gari ikakuja kama a runaway ram,

Ju ulidrink and drive ikawa ni hey stop ama slam,

But ulicome,

Swoosh and zoom in your palms,

Sio palm trees,

But nilikupea treats,

Ju ulikuwa chilly,

Uka chill na my family,

But before ni say a word ulitake flight.

Tulikuwa tume dungaa blazers na ice-cream,

Zikaibiwa,

But ulikuja na laser eyes screams,

Zikaskika,

Kukuona tulikuwa as happy as kings and queens,

But before ni say a word ulitake flight.

Nilipiga 911,

Kwa lesson ya nouns,

Ukakuja right now,

Stepmother akani slap,

Ju nilistep out na Aladdin kwa magic carpet,

Carpenter akakuleta na puppets,

Then BOOM!

Superman punch,

Na lightning ikamcatch,

Step-mother akihepa her everyday,

DOOM,

Yani runner,

But before ni say a word ulitake flight.

Nilikutext,

Kukuuliza what next,

Nikawave hands kusema asante,

Wind ika blow your cape and Dante,

But before ni say good bye ulitake flight.

Ku_Rolet: I love the story and the love between the couple. It doesn’t drag unnecessarily, which I really enjoyed.
