The Grey Kingdom II

The Grey Kingdom II He heard a yelp from below, a belted & jumbled note For help she sung spoke & yelled from her tongue & throat He fell to them coming close when the smell of that ugly roach Of a shell tryna touch her coat became hell as it stuffed his nose He rushed the foe & crushed it with one husky blow To its undergrowth & twisted his fist to crunch the bulge Another punch to the skull but caught it before i'd fall At the speed of gravity times a couple of fours Found the nearest waste basket & tossed it in like a ball Flagged some flashing lights & offered it to the law Thus off to report some more but lost in his jungled world Thought of the lonely girl then thought of the only her What a blur of black & white justly stirred A running burst he traveled by night & up was preferred Somewhat disturbed this evening eating at him were words Without meaning or worth, abut things yet were slurred Around him a being perched, bound to be a demon bird He vowed to defeat it first whether loud or discrete i'd hurt From the mouth it would bleed & curse, out to be freed But now it undoubtedly’d be reversed downward beneath the earth That’s how he would feed the thirst of who scoured with greed or worse Such cowardly beasts that lurked in the hours of evil work So wildly he reeled & turned but noticed a cloaked figure Same from that fateful night it kneeled & slowly whispered “Hello drifter, I am If To guide your steps by your best kind of trip I exist.” A sighing breath cried from his lips. “My how I sense stress Are you fine with this mightier gift life has suppiled you with?” “I don’t know” “I can show you the way but you must think Who is in your head?” The face of his one friend “Perfectly executed, you’re correct in your ‘ssumptions Go visit this man, you two’d better discuss things. We’re done then.” He spun & bended a leap with a plummeting dive & comfortably glided puncturing sky for his lovely ride But once he arrived something inside ruptured his stride Stumbling tried to jump off the side but nothing would rise Wondering why, he’d suddenly find himself unsure “Come on, one more.” He climbed & sprung forward Flung he soared mustering chords that were struck hard From his lungs roared. He clung to some rungs but a cut poured “Ugh, ohrr. Blood? Nohrr.” Surprised to see what his hands released Wiped it off on his pants, re-realized that he was man, thus re- Minded of his humanity. Mindless to his insanity ‘xcited he shifted glance & reached high to the city’s canopy Spied on it panoramically. Eyed all the different branching trees Striving he griped them, swam with breeze. Flying so swiftly and with ease Wires connected landing feet. Tired he slipped when bending knees Higher he glimpsed his friend Aziz prying their fingers’ tangled squeeze “My eyes must be a tad deceived. This lad I see’s A battered heap disguised with tattered sheets & the lies I read are rather steep they write you’ve captured thieves A passer’d seen a guy attack then leave Who but he who threw me three feet high then back ten feet More than bruising me & ruined things inside my lab lept clean To a doomed defeat yet ensuingly survived that cash & breathes Could prove to be this ‘super-being’ as jived & jazzed to me on this tabloid’s sheets?” “These last few weeks I spent defending those that I felt in my heart Were surely worth it. Sore & hurting from impurer earthlings Whose scorn has spurned their forms to turn them horrid, vermin moral-less Who’ve in a sense burned the innocents. Scarrers more or less For the best all of this has forced a purpose towards my surface S’more can search f’r a warrior person born to skirt this war securely for them Early mornings & before the dawns I hear the shrillest screams Killers cling to spill & drink what fills our veins until they’re drained. So still, the thing.” “A brilliant dream. Well it seems hell’s unleashed selfish fiends Your swelling need to shelter weak & helpless beings Excels supreme. Swell indeed. So tell me, please Will it be a spell of leaves in swelt’ring heat to smell & breathe? Or silly me, a swig of freezing liquid serum gulped from cheeks? I will believe a sniff’ll please but I really see a pill to ease Or else the needle’ll decree the ‘bilities & skills you seek.” “Those pills’d be great.” He tossed him them. A tilted face. Got lost again …Into the lofty wind If was then off with him. “What is it? What haunts you friend?” Vividly thoughts commenced of her wintery ambiance “It’s…” “Shelly” “…you’re drawn to then and a different course begins.” …His tenure exhausted limbs Medicine offered him dispensed & he swallowed twins Gentler falls folded with spin. He stintlessly walked toes clenched Skipping through tall buildings ’til to the one ‘cross from… them? …A kiss and long goodbye Fixing his collar’nd tie with a wink from a sultry eye Exited the ‘partment fine & ended up some floors down, guy Hence stepped in to start a drive. The decision was follow by …Sticking an arm outside Which gripped an alarm that cried. Its spinning thus carved a line Through infinite cars. In time was willing to halt the sir’n He slipped into a darkness. Tires skidded in their charring wind “I’m not far behind, (phew)” Uniformed police waited Two were armed at each waist, the suited one with a briefcase The three strayed from their vehicles to a door within feet they’re Pursuer wanting to keep chase. Moved towards with discrete haste “They seem grey.” Via windowsill viewed more, ‘nother three waited In usual garments. Their briefcase issued for them. A neat trade The p’lice raised their pistols th’ others’ too were drawn & heat blazed The shooting storm made them each lay but the suited one is whose feet stayed He reached straight for his gifts and uttered: “Two is more.” “Whad he say?” From a human’s form in a weak state he grew & morphed to a freak’s shape A clean break through the window’s build. Threw some shards from his speed and weight To him in a hard’ning mean rage. Supercharged by extreme hate
