Behind the Bug Eyed Mask

Behind the Bug Eyed Mask

By Kit the Wolfy

---

Behind the bug-eyed mask is a smile that goes on forever.

A heroic smile, a smile that can change lives.

The world where the masked hero lives is scary.

Humans become monsters, and the human heart is laid bare.

But that's of no consequence.

When the hero arrives with a miraculous transformation,

All is well.

Rider Kick! The day is saved.

The smiles come back and all is well.

But there's nobody like that in the real world,

No oddball with a magic belt and a motorbike.

The monsters of the real world are not demons or aliens,

Or humans who use dark powers to become creatures of destruction.

They are ordinary people,

Filled with anger and greed and hatred.

There is no Rider Kick that can stop them, no Henshin, nothing.

In the world of the masked hero there is hope,

And in the world outside the TV,

There are no smiles.
