Archive for the tag “personality”

megalomania


small hands & barely a heartbeat
in fact if you went searching with a knife
you’d be hard pressed at finding the source

your maker is the same as mine
though by your arrogance you’ve evolved
into something much less than jesus or elvis

to embrace your false bravados
keeps mankind striding one step forward
only to tumble backwards into your confusion

only you can set me free


you follow me for reasons
I dare not explain
lord knows
my rise to fame
my transition to power
isn’t something I sought
rather given to me
from your invisible god

I can say anything I want
and you will be in awe
applauding my words
as if they’re your own
passing them along
to the masses
so that they may come
to appreciate the power
of personality
