So in addition to everything else I dabble in prose here & there. This is just something I came up with, inspired by recent personal events.

Blinded by arrogance
Portraying victim & hero
Believing to be the One
but in truth just a zero

Build the self up
by cutting others down
In perception a king
in reality a clown

Unbridled ends & means
hate poisoned mind
no hope for redemption
all ties die & unwind.
