there are fewer
treachery’s
more-
heinous
underhanded
cold blooded-
than
making a Transformers
movie in the 80's,
just
to kill off Optimus Prime.
Optimus Prime-
hero
leader
father figure.
there is
no greater Deception-
than-
making a Transformer movie
and have children witness
his -
Slaying
Assassination
Murder
Business Men
Old Men
Con Men
murdered him
to sell a shiny new red hot rod toy-
Con Men
insulting
my child heart and mind.
We were more
than meets the eye.
The hubris
to believe you could
kill off
my friend-
to make me automatically complicit
and not mourn,
as he
transformed
into a
robot angel.
transformed and rolled out
to robot heaven-
as he returned to the Energon.
the audacity
to try to make a quick buck-
by killing
my friend
your friend
Our friend.
their
greed
transformed these
men to monsters-
children to cynics-
trust to deception .
a deception perpetrated, no, not by men
not by con men,
but
by monsters
in disguise.
the voice of a hero
never to speak again the words-
"Autobots
transform and roll out!"
just
the tears of those children
still rolling out
more than
40 years later.
and if you try
to remind
us he was
resurrected
brought back
from
the
dead!
or
tell me he is risen.
Ask not to be forgiven
for this
Transgression
Transaction
Transmission
This trespass against us-
I will punch you in the face
As we
the witnesses
to the murder of
Optimus Prime-
wage a battle to destroy
the evil forces
of
Deception
Deceit
Dishonesty
and
as
one
we scream
out
“Cobra!”
