Childhood Drama

Silly things always define something odd...

As a kid I 
wanted to bring the sun down with my 
slingshot and a pebble but not 
my pet rock
And so I aimed
and aimed so 
high
with my slingshot and a pebble 
but not my 
pet rock

And so I released
released the pebble
rocketing up in the sky
so I smiled… 
“…the sun will soon go down”
says I…

But the pebble…
the pebble plummeted down
down, back to earth
turning into a falling star…

So I gazed upon
this daylight wishing star
wanting to wish…
but I felt 
numb

And as my gaze followed
followed this wishing star
it hit not the ground
but a man’s head reminding me of Jack 
Jack breaking his crown…

And for the first time as a kid
I saw a man turning into a raging bull
A raging bull he became
charging towards me 
with fire in his eyes and blood 
on his crown

So I ran
I ran racing the sun
and so a lesson learned
what goes up
will surely go 
down…..
