I am the tyrant

By Random

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I am the tyrant I set the code From trees to rocks And to the sea and the roads I demand clean air I say cars are bad They smoke poisonous gases And drive us mad I banned driving cars Now clean air will be filled Anybody who drives Shall then be killed Then I tripped over a pebble It tried to kill me! I say that all roads Should be pebble-free! I hate the insects! They infest the town I'll just spray poison They'll all go down! I keep hitting my head! Because of those stupid trees! I'll cut them down with chainsaws Then there'll be no more trees to see! Then a dog bit me! They're evil to people They might carry germs I'll kill them all! There's a landslide! It nearly killed me! I'll flatten those mountains And pour them in the sea! Those fish really irritate me! Too much peacefulness! I'll use my poison again For those fish's meaninglessness! I hate the cattle I hate the taste I'll torture them all To show them my haste! Now there's a rally But I'll tell them they're wrong They can shout for now But not for long! The people in the town They're too busy! Walking everywhere They make me dizzy! I don't like seeing people I don't like the talk I'll shoot a big bomb They'll crumble like chalk! Those birds in the sky They fly, but I don't I'll get my rifle And shoot them so they won't Everyone's against me now Killing me's my goal But they have no hope I'll kill them all! I look at the sky And what I've done I thought it'd be good But nobody said I'm a good man And so I'm the tyrant Of the world wrecked by me In misery I'll die For that's how it should be.
