My army stands behind me
Where you cannot harm them.
And, with them to defend me,
You cannot harm me too.

President Mujica, Emporer Jimmu,
Jesus, Buddha and Scrappy Doo.
Gazoo, Kung Fu
And most of all you

The ranks of soldiers unfallen
Always unreachable by you.
They are my past, my knowledge
And my future.

This is not the face of greatness
I don't write symphonies like Bethoven
I don't write tragedies like Shakespeare
I don't write horrors like Edgar Allan Poe
Yet they still find the time to say I'm great
That my poems move them
That they love my art work
The only thing I am is...ok
Greatness is achieved by success
I have never succeded in anything
Ever in my life
I'm not the master of metaphors
I'm not the emporer of similes
I'm not the lord of personifications
I'm simply a kid
Trying to express himself through
The addicting lines of poetry
Written to perfection due to the high
They say I'm great
Well I'm not
Simple as that
I'm just good
Maybe one day I will be great
But today I am not

OK! First the lollipop in the jar is missing
And her feet are itchy, help us please...
There's a cow doing cartwheels?
And if I might ask did your pigeon sneeze?
Reels of footage were left in the turkey baster,
Am I wrong? You obviously don't hear lemons
Whistling though, of course. And these days the
Emporer of Donutland is poor, better send him
Another hammed cannery of doom, let alone two.
And this TV has too many billygoats fishing!
And I'll be monster,
She did grow a hat!
Only minus the notes.
Just as big smoking jerky,
BLINDING, teeth raising...!
Chewing itself a thrill.

People don't seem to understand
I ritually expand
Outshine when I take a stand
Listen carefully & comprehend
I spit real so you know the deal
Wasting no time staying on my grind
Never fall behind so I don't pretend
Instead I defend the laws
Deriving from high command
Mother earths in high demand
Advanced individual recognized spiritual
Intact physical gifted fallen spirits
I uplifted drifted from the ways of mankind
For a moment I was blind
Now I'm fine I'm one of a kind
Imperial emporer with an Aztec Mind
Something I refuse to leave behind
Ancestors buried treasures
Difficult to find
As my story begins to unfold
My heart forms ice cold
Ancient stories never told
So behold now pause & take a deep
Breathe there's no escaping
Everyone awaits death
Not done

— The End —
