Life Among the Shadows

Life Among the Shadows

Big Daddy
Lived in the shadows
He did not exist

He was a cipher
He was a spook
He was invisible

He was a secret agent man
He had many names
Many fake identities

No one knew his real name
Just Big Daddy
To those in the know

He floated through life
In the shadow world
Death following him
In his wake

As he carried out
his secret missions
For an agency
that did not exist

he thought that
when he died
no one would mourn him

for no one knew
who he was
lost in the shadows

he was fine with that
the price of living
in the shadow worlds.
