Ball Point Man

Up, up, and away. Ball Point Man's come to save the day.

I've got sass and savvy pack flash by the paragraph

I'm more novel than War and Peace

I fight beasts armed to the teeth on the daily

My pen is my sword and thank Lord never fails me.

I remember back in the days of my youth

When I used to run around on the block with a few friends

Nickers and Kickers and stickers on our Big Wheels,

Mindtricks and Kung Fu grips was the big deal.

At nighttime we'd fight crime defending civilians

Mounting extra sensory offences against the villains by the millions

No defiance to our allegiance cause we instilled fear,

Jimmy quit, Joey got married, but I'm still here

I've got my head in the clouds but I'm grounded.

This superhero steps to the pavement and I pound it.

Hounded by the sound of unfounded speculation

By authorities around to confound the population.

Now most host ghosts, I propose to break the shell.

The coffee shop cop rides in to dispel

These visions of cathedrals from a shopping mall,

And philosophy from a bathroom wall.

And so I strike without hesitation, the forces had to yield

To my devastation my notebook is my battlefield

I roam tomes of zones where spirals spin around

And I can leap a metaphor in a single bound

I'm biding my time

I'm biding my time waiting for a sign to be sent to me

To unleash the power of my secret identity,

But until that day I will stay for the time being

Incognito laying low with my rhyme scheme

Well Shazaam! I Marvel like the captain

At my inopportune impotence in the face of distraction,

Inaction makes me a good guy also-ran

So I battle Black Mantas in the bathtub like Aquaman

Minions of evil heed this tirade

It's a parade of polemics and I love a parade

So I ride into the sunset with the money and the girl

But in my spare time I still save the world
