Power Trip

Since I was barely even nine

There’s been teaching signs

Of a telekinesis mind

Other thoughts were breeching mine

Objects flung and reached the sky,

Pulled by secret twine

Abilities from A to Z described

And everything in between combined

Dreams of stopping schemes & crimes,

Immediately seemed in line

Justice is redefined

I could wipe the streets of slime

The blessing of reading minds

Gave me vision to free the blind

I’m the reason why,

People cease to die

Make sure to intervene awry

The perps scream & cry

Continuously bleed & whine

Until they’re breathing pine

To most they seem clean & shine

And I’m seen as the demon Hyde

So I flee into the trees & climb

It’s my life I have to leave behind,

Just because I seek & spy,

Scum with the weakest spines

And I’ve the means to beat their kind

The power to peak my prime

The power to be divine

A God to these mortal sheep & swine

They should worship me with shrines

Instead they put me to sleep inside,

A padded room complete with grime

Strapped to a seat confined

They looked me in my gleaming eyes

And asked me to speak my mind

System with a unique design

Relocate and reassign

Try again more discreet this time

And hope nobody leaks a dime

So I’m just released with fines

Back ready to police and find

Anybody with indecent vibes

We offer peace of mind

For the price of freedom fried

They only see the scenic side

Selling what they’re pleased to buy

They prefer the sweetened lie

The magic that feeds their lives

Sleight of hand weaves demise

Levitate to ease the rise

Plant the seed to make believe we’re wise

Stories straight, each speech revised

Martyrs behind the scenes revived

In uniform of a deep disguise

Superheroes don’t need to fly
