An Ode to Man
October 6, 2014
Here’s to humanity
Our world and our race
Among you all only I am truly great.
Here’s to our minds
So complex and strange
Making such excellent puppet strings.
Here’s to your opinion
You leap to defend it
Obeying my will yet you don’t even know it.
Mind commands muscle
And mine commands yours.
When you fight my opinion
You speak at my will.
You say I don’t command you, “I simply can’t”
In response I but laugh, “Dance puppet, dance!”
Here’s to our world, its rises its falls.
Here’s to our species, I will rule you all!
