Chereads / Letters for my Mother / Chapter 16 - ASTROBOY

Chapter 16 - ASTROBOY

Trippy's not the word that kids use nowadays,

Hey,

I'm lit like a meteor in night's haze.

Swoosh,

hear the sound of my flame as I glide,

I am an astro boy,

party's my pride.

What's it you want from me,

Mr. Officer?

I didn't have one too many,

I concur.

But what's 'neath your coat,

with a kick,

it's clear,

Protruding inside my nose,

stench I fear.

Hands in the air,

I'll be concise with you,

lad,

Why's your visor so dark,

your moves so bad?

I've a degree in walkanomics,

understand,

From the way I trekked,

born royalty,

I stand.

I've got the high in me,

please,

Mr. Officer,

Can't you see I'm a star,

destined for more?

Under the bar,

sixteen bars,

brush in hand,

In a cell without locks,

feeling unmanned.

Hey,

in blue uniform,

break this cruel cage,

Locks shaved,

clean head by minds in a rage.

I left the kill spot,

was once my chill spot,

Walking away,

feeling like I'm forgotten.

Meteor crash and burn,

some fall to earth's crest,

I reassured myself,

Star boy,

at my best.
