You're powerful
scary,
and so that's your first tactic.
The one that you never resort to
during ordinary times.
But this is not
an everyday occurrence.
—
It works
for how long?
They are scared
but they hate you more
than their fear.
They come closer
needles in hand
and you know,
then.
—
This is all there is,
son of the sky.
No tabula rasa.
You
are
done.
—
Coming closer.
You can barely register them,
but they look like
they're coming closer.
Nothing works
no lightning
no flying
you are done for.
—
What's inside?
They ask.
What's running on inside
of your little hybrid mind?
—
Come on
little demigod.
Aren't you powerful?
Oh,
don't give up now.
We love a good chase.
—
It's wrong
all wrong
just so damn wrong.
You are supposed to be
in charge.
You are supposed to be
a leader.
But when you sit down
alone
in your cell—
it is all
that you rule.
Hasn't royalty dropped?
