Megalomania

By Danw

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I’m not demented, I was just deprived From cradle to the future, I’m a present day child As I watched you dying, I thought I’d survive Let my caged bird go and watch him fly Meets the horizon, Tries to do more Tries to be like me, and falls to the floor Explosive like volcanoes, I’m still in control Feel my wrath and watch me roll I am man perfected, Can’t be anymore Unlike all you people, Scratching and fighting for a place on the floor By my light your blinded, To see what lies beyond Without me your not guided In a cold dark room without a light Im not scared of fear, in fact I’m fear itself Yes, you’ll learn my lesson I’ll beat you, teach you Learn you well, learned to well Now learn this lesson son, And you’d better learn it well I’m a man, a machine, unstoppably mean You can’t beat me, not even close Written November 30th, 2001 © on Feb 26 2002 02:03 AM PST   10 • 0 • 1
