Avenger Poem by G J Salgado

Avenger



Don't worry about keeping the porch lit
You can turn off the light
Cause he's coming home with me tonight
I'm gonna put my tag on his face
You're gonna know ya place
You can lick my spray can
I'll do things to him you can't
You can't
I can't say I won't
The person that you thought you knew was a lie
Pulling strings searching for an alibi
I'm free and enjoying being alive
While you're doing 20 to life
I love seeing rain as it falls
For months I've been having Autumn withdrawals
I'm living life beating this disease
No one knows what it's like to be me
You won't ever know about the times I've once died
But it hasn't got me deprived

Gonna report what I know to Quantico
So you better put me on your payroll
You're gonna do it if I say so
Turns out you don't know me very well
Feds snooping while I'm sleeping with the Cartel
Turning up all the ends and outs to make sure it works
Crossing all t's and taking out I's first
So they won't see you know don't ask and I won't tell
Eyes on me but what are they trying to sell
Trust me cause I'm good for it
Buy me a Benz or Jag then store it
That way they're not suspicious
Cocktails with cherries got me so delicious
Incognito in disguise
American spies
Won't let them get in my way
I've already changed my name
They won't find me
Wiped out history
They wouldn't know me if they saw me
No longer on the books
Forgotten how I looked
Still have the same pretty face
Even though I disappeared into space
Cholos put me up in a real nice place

Welcome to my asylum
Gold dripping but you can't feel em
I own undocumented land
Have enemies and no friends
I always Fly Emirates
Dance with illegal immigrants
You'll never guess my MO
I keep it locked and loaded with ammo
Cause you never know
When I'm gonna need it
It's not an option to be defeated
I'll drop a few stories from time to time so you can read it
I'll walk it on down the line
But I won't do lines
Won't even serve the time
I'll claim it's not my crime
But if I want it I'll take it and claim it as mine
Claim it as my own
Take it home
Paint it up and display it in my gallery
Make it a star and turn it into a galaxy

Welcome to my museum
Hidden diamonds but you can't see em
Don't spit in my face
If you do I'll save the DNA
Keep it for a rainy day
Unveil it for the DA
I won't be attacked
I always fight back
Don't get too attached
They said I'd be nothing if I'm poor and fat
I'm the future so I've already changed all that
I am what I am without you
I won't wake up to an empty room
My latino lover keeps me laid
Make sure the bed's made
Keep all the bills paid
Stack the cash into my bank account
Because I'm everywhere but I never have to leave my house
How's it coming along with the BMW and the Benz
Stop and think about it while I adjust my scope and lens
I keep my targets under lock and key
When I hit I won't miss bet you'll miss me
I heard you took down my gang of bikers
Before I knew it you were in the hot seat at Rikers
I'm in deep with my crew of the MC
See us laughing as we take a trip to the OC
Don't pack your bags so soon
We'll have you hand delivered back to Rikers by noon
Send you on a permanent vacation
ADA just needed my recent persuasion
My papers are legit
Fill my orders cause I don't quit
This is as close as you're gonna get
So remember me so you don't forget

Don't waste your feelings on me
I won't let you love me; hate me
Where's all the people that you'd go to bat for
Why do you even need me for
You go ahead; sit around and play with your baseballs
I don't do sports or their references; I'm ready for a face-off
Take my broken up thoughts and put them into sentences
Who says that I need to get my revenge
It's not me that should be avenged
Before I collect my debts they'll already be paid
Turn my revenge into words so that my road is paved
I create my own paths
But you wouldn't know anything about that
I don't have to be cruel I'll just put your name in
Write some rhymes or put in my book with highlighting
Save it and sit on it for years
Guess you forgot that I can make things disappear
Then I'll disappear for months at a time; maybe even years
I can go on and on for decades
Before someone hears my name
Have you all choked up
Have you all nerded up
What's the matter did you miss me
Makes you wanna kiss me
While the whole time you were dissing me
Got your tongue twisting
Taste my whiskey
Cause it's gonna burn
Doesn't the truth hurt
Now I'm back like a hurricane
I would like to dedicate your remains
To the SVU morgue
Where your body's being stored
It's a genius's lyrical standoff
It's gonna rot your face off
I'm ready for my close up
Bagged and tagged so zip it up
It's all gotten splattered
Murdered and shattered
Sounds like a job for Melinda Warner
Who will sit in as the grieving mother
You're delusional and distraught
Over a kidnapping gone wrong
Grief stricken haze it's botched
There's a hostage situation inside your own thoughts
You no longer know what's real inside this criminal mind
NCIS, Law and Order, CSI Miami; who knows what they'll find
Inside my Forensic Files
Dirt's getting deep in piles
Has you buried thinking that you're Sophie Gerard
But the dealer hasn't even played your cards
You watch too many crime scenes on TV
Has your brain segregated from reality
Whenever you escape back into this world
Maybe you can figure out what this was all for
You fell for the greatest gift
It made you ballistic
You haven't found the perfect piece of trash
Keeps you up at night and leaves a rash
Quicker than the shots being fired
It lights up and sets its own fire
Comes back like a serial killer
Hits the big screen as its next horror thriller
Think I'll cash in on the box office hits
Collect what I'm owed then I'm gonna split

Thought you said I wasn't going to make it
Won't you go and get a rape kit
Bend over but all you'll find is your own fingerprints
It's steady but it's unclean
Welcome to a story tellers dream
I'll be sure to cover their ears so they won't hear you scream
I told you this wasn't going to be easy
I won't walk away from something even if it doesn't please me
I'll put your silk clothes back on the hanger
This is what happens when you live like a stranger
You were never really in any present danger
Bet the past will catch up with you though before it's all over
I've let you step into my shoes
They're built to last; I won't lose
How far does this nightmare fairytale have to go
I didn't believe your lies; you corrupted Pinocchio
Here you thought you had me at hello
I'm gonna cut the puppet strings now and let you go
It's time to cut you loose Mastro Geppetto

There you are with blood on your hands
But where are all of your buddies and friends
You always stick up for them in the end
Now you want to tell everyone that suddenly I'm your best friend
You don't even know me
Using me because you are lonely
But it's not gonna work you see
Because you already owe me
Crime scene isn't over but the paint is still wet
Blood is fresh and you're close as you can get
Says you've gone to places you haven't been to yet
Maybe next time you won't trust me with all your secrets

Truth is I'm in and out of your life; like an ex wife
I won't make you think twice
Won't even have to take you to court; to pay child support
For kids that aren't even yours
We won't tell what happens behind closed doors
Don't act like I'm any kind of amateur
I'm just your every day Entrepreneur
Because those kids; they don't exist
Only in your dreams could you be with this
Have you stripped and strapped; wanting more
Besides if they were yours they'd be the children of the corn
Like aliens sprouting up from the ground
Little monsters; ganster pranksters running around
But you don't have it in you to cut me loose
You're too weak to even make your move
But you won't have to go far to let me go
These are all things that we already know
