The Bottom Line Lionel Luthor is appropriately named...
In my second attempt at a Smallville poem, I decided to focus on Lionel Luthor, the Machiavellian father of Lex. I don't think that he's as impervious as he often seems; he can feign emotion, but some of it is genuine. Nonetheless, I think he'd like to think of himself in the manner described in the poem, which I guess I see as a sort of coming-of-age speech delivered to Lex. Mainly, though, it's just an excuse to cram as many leonine images into one poem as I possibly can... A Luthor is a Lion A Luthor is the lord of all around him, A man whose majesty can’t be denied. Callous and cavalier toward those who crowned him, He’s free to be the proudest of his pride. A Luthor must be savage as he slices - Obsessed with his ascension to the throne - Through victims of his own visceral vices, For victory must come to him alone. Deciding he is destined to devour, He mustn’t ever go back on that oath. He lets his love be trampled by his power; A Luthor’s learned he cannot have them both. He must resign himself to isolation, For intimacy only fuels his rage, Invoking awkwardness and desperation. A Luthor is a beast locked in a cage. And when a Luthor roars, everyone listens And grovels, rendered gormless by his growl, And marvels as his luminous mane glistens. This predator is always on the prowl. So perilous a personage to spy on, So sinister and so solemnly sworn To conquer all, a Luthor is a lion And has been since the day that he was born. Smallville: Season One Season Two Season Three  |
