He glances fearfully

Over the edge

Looking down at the

City's streets

He is shocked

Cowering

As he catches sight

Of me

I halt his foreign

Words of wonder

"I know, Alexander"

I'm just as shocked

As he once was

Midst of yellow shining

Hopes

Darkness engulfs

Driveways of

Suburbia

White cars aligned

With little white

Lies

To conquer my

Residence

In dreamscape

"My son?"

"Your son."

As the city of

Lights

Faded before us

All

I was crowned

Guardian Angel

Yet

Destroyer of Peace;

So I conquered.
