Full Metal
Metal on my frame
iron in my heart
body hard
like a rusty mechanical part
I lift myself from the dust
mentally and physically I must.
Half man half machine
apparition from a sci-fi scene.
Although the rockets and advanced
armour on my arms are nice
love eludes me for no
lady will look at me twice
Marching through the marketplace
i was pelted with eggs
I could not flee because of the heavy
steel alloy in my legs
but I escaped and hid
Inside a nearby pavilion
i will still defend these people
who label me a villain.
