Hey, Hey How are you alive?

A Poem by LKang

�"�"-“Hey, hey how are you alive?”
I took a trip into the mountains
I got up there pretty high
A cave caught my attention
As I was walking by.
I went inside to see
Experiments alive
-A man in white was dressing wounds
-But his ugly creature died
He didn’t ask my name.
I said it anyway
He said I’ve got one question
“Did you pray to God today”
-I listed all the places where you expect God to show
-He brushed it saying “Kid, what is it that you think you really know?
The cave was not that dark
You could see the walls inside
Jars of things I’ve never seen
And several wires neatly tied
-I asked if he can use all these things inside his cave.
-He said “I could bet my a*s and bath in all the money I would save”
I asked him something else
He didn’t hear me say.
I turned and He was gone.
There was a large display
-Telling me I’ve got to die
-I’ve seen his secret place
-Said for me to just stand still
-And take it all with grace.
He stabbed me in the chest
He threw me somewhere dark
But I didn’t fall far enough
And the knife had missed my heart.
I climbed out the hole
With a fire in my eye.
He gasps and screams!
Hey, hey my son.
How are you still alive?
I picked a rock up off the floor.
He leaned against the wall
I could’ve killed him there
But I thought better of it all.
-I ran. He didn’t follow.
-He wasn’t feeling brave
-I’ll be careful next time I’m out here
-Exploring caves.
