An ambulance passes by
As I take another drag of my life
Maybe the poor soul has a one way ticket to heaven
Unlike myself, who will not be present

I see the world thru a different set of eyes
I see things that others dream of at night
I see the good, the bad, and the grey
The naïve detective
The porcelain gaze

I see my enemies directly in front of me
I do not cower
Run
Slink away
I stand tall, ready to deliver a forceful blow
Before the slam of the fist averts his toll

With the defeat at my feet
I conjure up my last request
And that is a self sacrifice
To save someone other than me
The trap sprung
My wish fulfilled
I pissed off the Demon
Lucifer
The ruler of Hell
