A 5 Piece Combo for a Villain

Written By Myles Yates

The irony, grief

Be reason to don the mask

But unmask true self

The mask is the face

The true identity for 

How villains get work

The man’s tombstone states 

A promise for the ending 

Lovely reunion

Spell name with ALL CAPS

Because DOOM and doom can have 

Whole different meanings

The villain did win

By becoming a legend 

That made us love him
