A Villain's Viewpoint

for Heath Ledger

Hello, ladies and gents...

it's my pleasure to make your acquaintance

as i hear it

you all think, i'm the bad guy hehe

let's not get in to labels just yet

first, i want you to ask yourself...

why do you see me for who,

or what you think i am?

is it the violence, my devious ways or

could it be my pure hatred for what you represent?

if so, keep that thought...

hold it tight

now, look at how people live

is it much different from me?

yea... let me tell you a secret

i'm you... being honest

no, you say? hehe

come on admit it

how many of you have been wronged

and you wanted revenge---

i mean, really wanted it

so much so, that you could feel it

coating your teeth... swelling up inside you

like a ballon taking on air

now, what happens to that ballon when it has too much air?

that's right... it pops

you see folks...

i'm the pop--- in other words, action

you people just don't have the stomachs

to take what you want

you'd rather sit idly by

and let your so-called heros and justice

clean up your mess or make everything normal again

so you can rest your filthy lil heads at night

you disgust me

let me tell you about your "heros"

and even that thing you call "justice"

justice.... umph what a concept

justice, as you see her, mmmm i'm already excited

wields a sword in one hand, a scale in the other

but, she wears a blindfold?

ummm sounds dangerous to me

and if she can never see what she's doing...

it sounds pretty unfair too

my kind of girl hehe

but i can't have her, cause she's all yours

i personally live by the an eye...

for evevrything you love rule myself

now, time for that "hero" of yours...

your beacon of light

dont you people see---

he's the reason you're weak

the reason you can't... pop!

you sit by and let him take charge

in all the fun moments in life

and calls it saving you, i call it handicapping

you forget to use all those

nasty, but sweet emotions boiling inside you

you give him all your faith... you become weak

and never see what really makes you--- you

you just don't know how to have any fun...

thats why i'm here, to set you free

of your own fears and those lies you keep telling yourself

try being honest... like me hehe

so the next time,

something pushes a lil too much air

into that pretty little ballon of yours

put on a smile... and pop!

you'll love it... i promise
