Lionkiller |
| I was born in a hospital |
| That was very big and white |
| The hands of a male doctor |
| Pulled me into the light |
| My grandmother cut |
| The umbilical cord |
| And I took my first breath |
| In a maternity ward |
| They gave me food and shelter |
| They gave me clothes and things |
| I was allowed to go to school |
| And I was encouraged to sing |
| I was healthy |
| I was a privileged soul |
| And I am lucky today |
| And thankful on the whole |
| I am called Scorpio |
| If they got the date right |
| I cannot transcend this caste |
| Even if I tried |
| I hope to kill |
| A great lion someday |
| And I will because with |
| Work ethic I was raised |
| Fire, Water, Earth, Wind have gone |
| To Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John |
| Elements are assigned |
| Stars given names |
| Baseball on T.V., pictures in frames |
| I am still hunting |
| For the hide of such sheen |
| My hair is still curly |
| And my eyes are still green |
| Stick a needle in my eye |
| I’m middle class 'til the day I die |
