For Darth Vader ... (Part II)

I'm grown,

now ... letting you know,

father I've never known

dead and long gone

still have to let this go

the weight of your sins

genuflect and praying

talking to myself, maybe

or some glowing white tree

even tho' alone

have to let it go

throw it out there for the universe

letting you know

stranger I never met

sperm donor that made me so

I'm my own and on my way

self made and shaped by mother's love

better a man learning from grace

fighting for justice

discarding hate

blind of the evils

mindful of the dangers

You may have clones and death star bling

armies of storm troopers at your whim

and I may have been once a slave

a victim and target for bounty

Jabba's bait

a clueless dolt,

life insurance policy

still breathing and defying death

and you, naked ape

while you wait

for the Hiv and poisons

to finally kill me...

But Surprise endings

win academy votes

we all choose 

we the people

we who are free men

I choose the light

that I have seen, to see,

because, you see,

the jedi in me

has a power beyond the darkside

that you forced on me

unknowingly...

I learn better by seeing clear

the power is mine

its absolute

no one can deny

I am here

I am alive

a golden light saber

that cuts thru the shadows

the truth like a knife...

I like it. Great job. Was there a golden light saber? Or is that your own?

[Butch Decatoria]

that would be the color of mine if we could choose to fashion our own individually...
