Lightning In A Bottle by Kevin Castro
Lightning in a bottle, they used to call him
The little boy wonder who could brave the deadliest storm
Who could tough it out against the Old Testament Tyrant
Look Death in the eyes and spit at their feet
Lightning in a bottle, he used to be
The mythic man who brought destruction for his foes
Who fought the sky during a drought until she bled rain
Tough as a man wished he could be
Lightning in a bottle, that boy could’ve been
The glass cannon who took anyone and everyone down with him
Who could’ve been so much more than “a worthy sacrifice”
If only the stories were true
