Words of a Madmad

Goku's poem to Vegeta about Kakarotto

~

Yes, my prince

I will protect you

That's right, because I am not him

Ah, but wouldn't he obey you?

Call you prince like I do not?

Ah, yes, my prince

That is right, he would

But don't let him fool you

He is poison

He will kill even you

See, he is like the lizard

He manipulates and he lies

He tortures the mind

Breaking at the soul

He laughs

But don't worry, my prince

I will protect you

I will protect your wife

I will protect your son

I will protect my family, too

I won't allow him to get you

Fear not, my prince

As long as I am in control

He won't hurt you

I promise

Oh, but my prince

What if he escapes?

He hurts me

He tortures me

But he laughs also

He is the lizard

You don't think I understand you but I do

I do, my prince

He tortures me like the lizard tortures you

Ah, but he is not like the lizard

The lizard dies

You can kill him, can't you?

Ah, but He won't die

Not this one, prince

He lives as long as I do

He talks to me

He whispers things during the day

But don't worry, I won't listen

You see, my prince, I am sane

Do you believe me?

Does your lizard appear in your dreams, too?

This one appears in mine

But I wake. I wake up, my prince!

Because I promised I would protect you

And I keep my promises

For I am not like him

I don't lie, my prince

And I am sane, I am not mad like him

He beckons me, but don't worry, my prince

I keep my promises
