I'm better than you,
I'M BETTER THAN YOU,
and you don't care,
submit, submit,
give me the whole world,
acknowledge me,
my fleeting existence,
and give me all the women to lay,
oh let me fix this, broken cold world,
and fill it with the warmth of my absolute,
depraved love, the world is crazy enough
as is, but it's not enough,
never enough,
for even Bill Gates.
No we all want more,
we all see the house and the trophy wife,
and we want ours,
I laugh to cover the sound of the opening scars,
from the inside out we tear ourselves out,
never before has civilization been so,
animalistic, the hierarchy,
the power disparity,
the artificial glass ceilings,
of "education", when the young just drink,
do drugs and ****, and after four years,
they are better, better, and best,
While the merits of the great,
the inspired, the ambitious,
get torn, and lost and left behind,
and no one cares,
not the world,
not the *****.
And so I am jealous, jealous and wrathful,
wrapped in my powerlessness and apathy,
nothing new I suppose,
Just another enlightened,
Human.
