Big Daddy Lives in the Shadow Worlds

Big Daddy Lives in the Shadow Worlds

Big Daddy lived
In the shadow world.

He officially did not exist,
He worked for an agency
That did not exist.

The same secret non-agency
That had terminated
His legal existence
For matters of national security.

He was a legendary figure
He was a cipher, a ghost,

An intel operative,
A spy, a spook,
A secret agent man.

No one knew his real name
Called him “: Big Daddy”
Or his latest covert name.

And he had hundreds
Of cover legends.

He lived in the Shadowlands
Of the third world.
In nameless hellhole slums
And dark secret dungeons.

Where he would do what needed
To be done
Killing those that needed killing

At the instructions
Of his unseen masters.

“It is time for death”
he said to his victims
like an avenging angel.

Showing no mercy
As he dispatched them,
To the waiting embrace
Of the Grim Reaper.

Staring at them
With his alien, cold, inhumane,
Robotic soulless blue eyes.

Just another dark figure
Living in the shadowlands.
