Description Roy Batty knows he will never get angel wings
Even though he is more honorable than most kings
And it's not because he has done questionable things
  
It is because he is more human than human
Yet he was not birthed from a woman
He was created by the Tyrell Corporation
To be used in their plans for colonization
  
Branded with the name Nexus Six
Roy slaved on a off world enduring insufferable licks
Until he decided to ultimately break his masters like sticks

He went on to finally meet his father Eldon
He saw fires off the shoulder of Orion

And watched C beams glitter near the Tannhauser Gate
It pains him knowing he can't escape his fate
Of not living past his four year expiration date
But fortunately, it was not too late
  
For a renegade replicant named Roy
To experience one last moment of pure joy

Following his finest act of humanity
He realized a profound discovery
That it is not the quantity
But it is truly the quality
Which makes life a thing of true beauty
  
All our moments will not be lost in time
To believe otherwise is such a crime

They will live forever in a ethereal domain
Never to disappear like tears in rain

This is very well writen, and perfectly beautiful for Roy. I really love it alot.

...only mistake is that, it's four years; not five years, for the replicants.
