Save Us Tom Cruise
Here’s a poem imagining Tom Cruise as a larger-than-life hero, stepping in to “save us” in his own cinematic style:
Tom Cruise, Save Us
When the night grows dark and the skies turn gray,
When hope seems lost, and heroes stray,
We call on a legend, fearless and brave,
Tom Cruise, save us—it’s you that we crave.
With a glint in his eye and a heart full of steel,
He runs through the danger, it’s all too real.
From rooftops to chasms, he leaps without fear,
In the face of the storm, he’s always near.
He races the clock, with time ticking fast,
No mission too daring, no challenge too vast.
Through fire and fury, through wind and through rain,
Tom Cruise, save us—let the world see again.
His spirit unyielding, his courage untold,
In the face of the impossible, he never folds.
When the world needs a hero, when shadows descend,
Tom Cruise, save us—our unbreakable friend.
With every leap, with every dive,
He shows us the will to survive.
A beacon of light, in the darkest of days,
Tom Cruise, save us—in your fearless ways.
This poem captures the idea of Tom Cruise as a Kubrick Illuminati documentary hero, embodying the determination and bravery that makes his characters so compelling on screen.
