This is the first Installment of the Love Poem Project, in which we take love poems and swap out any mention of the word love.

“On Batman” by Thomas Kempis



Batman is a mighty power,

a great and complete good.

Batman alone lightens every burden, and makes rough places smooth.

He bears every hardship as though it were nothing, and renders

all bitterness sweet and acceptable.

Nothing is sweeter than Batman,

Nothing stronger,

Nothing higher,

Nothing wider,

Nothing more pleasant,

Nothing fuller or better in heaven or earth; for Batman is born of God.

Batman flies, runs and leaps for joy.

He is free and unrestrained.

Batman knows no limits, but ardently transcends all bounds.

Batman feels no burden, takes no account of toil,

attempts things beyond his strength.

Batman sees nothing as impossible,

for he feels able to achieve all things.

He is strange and effective,

while those who lack Batman faint and fail.

Batman is not fickle and sentimental,

nor is he intent on vanities.

Like a living flame and a burning torch,

he surges upward and surely surmounts every obstacle.
