Metamorphasis
METAMORPHASIS
Mother, in her wisdom, called me ‘Bambi’
And people, when they see me, just say, “Aaah”,
Thinking it equates to namby-pamby,
Which isn’t really accurate by far.
They think of me as innocent and shy,
Afraid of all the creatures in the wild.
But they’re quite wrong and here’s the reason why.
My heart is black; I am the devil’s child.
While cameras run, I act my timid role.
But, while they sleep, I metamorphasise.
I satisfy the evil in my soul;
The jungle hears the screams as something dies.
I’m feared at night by every living thing
All will agree I am the jungle king.
