Pumps


Pumps

Self determined
Loves sport
Family orientated.

Pumps

Straight up,
Straight down,
Straight,
That’s what he is,
Strong,
Like the breeze,
Strong,
Like a sneeze,
Strong,
Like the hulk,
His big green muscles,
Tearing that shirt apart,
Knowledge,
Is his power,
Knowledge,
Is his strength,
Knowledge,
Is what he lives,
Knowledge,
Is what he breathes,
Seeing,
Doesn’t only come from his eyes,
Seeing comes from inside,
He knows what he wants,
He sees how he can get it,
And he has the strength to carry it out.

Some people like to stay home,
Some people like to go out,
Some people like a bag of potato chips,
And a coke to compliment it,
Some people like a carrot,
Mixed with powerade,
Some people are lazy,
He is not,
The television’s there for relaxation,
Not an occupation,
Give him a ball,
Give him a stick,
Give him a pair of short shorts,
Give him a pair sneakers,
And he’ll just do it,
His flesh rippling wide,
His feet beating the field,
The air rushing in,
Him rushing out,
Give him the sun,
Or the rain,
Give him the tornadoes,
Give him the calm,
That’s where he’ll be,
On this day,
Or that,
Just don’t give him walls,
Don’t give him a roof,
Don’t give him windows,
Don’t give him that play station,
It’s not him,
No space to stretch
No space to burn,
No space to look to the skies,
No space to look to the ground,
No space to look all around,
And share that brilliant smile.

Without them,
His eyes would roll back,
Without them,
He would dig a hole,
Without them,
He would lie in it,
Covering himself in a brown blanket,
Without them,
He would sleep,
Dreaming,
Never to wake up,
With them,
He calls on the heavens,
With them,
He calls on the earth,
With them,
He calls on the winds,
With them he calls on the seas,
To form,
A shield,
An invisible mask,
Protecting them,
Preventing them from danger,
With them,
His eyes floats,
With them,
His heat pumps,
With them,
He has no rainy days,
With them,
He lives,
With the sun at his back,
Basking in its glow,
With them,
He is home,
He needs no other,
He needs no more,
He reason to exist,
His reason to live,
Is right there and now,
With them,
He has found his round to it.
