To me a being of immortality
Who can right the wrongs we mortals make
Who can see past's past with clarity
Opportunities we fail to take
To save our planet

Even though the food they eat
Leaves us nauseous and in fear
We run and hide to get off the street
Watch your back, or you'll be the snack

Movies tend to paint different pictures
Of how these beings can be
They're cold, rarely seen human like creatures
Creatures of the night, masters of eternity

If the sun shall hit them during the day
They'll leave no single trace
But turn to ash and blow away
Scatter all over the place
But is this real?

Then you have the day walker
One who doesn't burn
Has the strength of the night stalker
Who can hear one's thoughts churn
Again, is this real?

No matter how Hollywood paints them
This will remain a fantasy
And one day a solved problem
A vampire is to me
Real or imagined

A being of immortality
Who can right the wrongs we mortals make
Who can see past's past with clarity
Opportunities we fail to take
To save our planet
