Lapis & Lazuli
2 KID§ sharing 1 story
Which deserves a soundtrack
With Blues beats & mechanical motifs
Like grinding gears, now lubricated with tears
’til they tear out their tear ducts – what the fuck?
What can I say? Their story begins N Tragedy
As just a couple of Savage Patch KiD§
Abandoned at a poor orphanage
Is it from their Parents’ failed marriage?
Maybe they’re Late – N§ide öF Death’s carriage?
Whatever…doesn’t really matter – do Ü really care?
They’re stuck there -nowhere to go- no Love to share
Until that Fateful day – on a walk sometime N May
When they had prayed for a Hero, yet instead
Destiny’s destination brings them to Gero
The Madman with an Evil plan – Kidnap
The vulnerable, becoming valuable
Test subjects: genius plan since
“You can’t kidnap an Orphan
They were never wanted
N the first place” – kinda
Sad, though kinda true – at least
That’s how it feels to Me, like We view
Our Youths – “No child left behind” – my ass
They’re expendables – too much trouble? Just pass
The problem up the ladder instead öF teaching
Them how to climb it, then when they fall
They’re so high up, they die & ragdoll
Sorry – A tangent flew N’2 my Reality &
Took me wayyy off course ∿ from my story
About the Tragedy öF Lapis & Lazuli – twins
Whö just can’t seem to ever win, never a tailwind
Then let’s just restart again: do Ü REMember where?
Gero’s bent morals R about to begin his experiment
On a couple öF innocent KiD§ – calls them Android
#17 (Lapis) & #18 (Lazuli) and “He only numbers
His successful experiments” – how unsettling
Yet just more Proof Gero is Cruel, and how
These 2 really do embody the color Blue
However, Good News! Although not diamond
They’re still gems N the rough – thus, enough
Is enough – these KiD§ have had it far too rough
So, although I Am ending this tragedy prematurely
Know this: Ey3’ll make sure they get A Happy Ending

Lapis & Lazuli
2 KID§ with a story
That deserves a soundtrack
With a Blues beat & a mechanic motif
Like grinding gears – lubricated with tears
’til getting their tear ducts torn out – what the fuck?
Like I said – their story begins as a tragedy
Just a couple of Savage Patch KiD§
Abandoned at some orphanage
Maybe because öF a failed marriage?
Or maybe even being Late, N Death’s carriage
Whatever – does it really matter? Do you even care?
Their there, with nowhere to go, no Love to share
Until that Fated day, on a walk sometime N May
When they had prayed for a Hero – & instead
Destiny’s destination brought them to Gero
The Madman with an Evil plan – Kidnap
The vulnerable to become valuable
Test subjects – a genius plan, since
“You can’t kidnap an Orphan
They were never wanted
N the first place” – sad
But also kinda true, at least
That’s how it feels like We view
Our Youth – “no child left behind” my ass
They’re expendables – too the trouble, just pass
The problem up the ladder instead teaching
Them how to climb, so when they fall
They’ll be so high up that they die
Sorry – a tangent N’2 my Reality
Took me way off course for my story
About the Tragedy öF Lapis & Lazuli – twins
Whö just never seemed to grow up with a win
Because let me begin again – REMember where?
Gero’s bent morals about to begin to experiment
On a couple öF innocent KiD§ – calls then Android

Your writing is beyond brilliant, my friend. Your poetic tale of Lapis & Lazuli is realistic and relays a message of the dark side of life. Your poems via connected links are on my radar to read when I have the time to focus. Unique and superb take on the prompt.

Thank you! What’s funny is I just happened to be writing this poem and didn’t see the prompt until after I finished. But when I saw the prompt, the timing felt like fate that I just happened to write about the color Blue
