A God, I Am

With just a switch I create light I create them in different shades Yellow, blue, red and white Though they be unlike the sun. I am a god, I am great-great things I wrought The elements proud and strong my Homage they brought Air, Iron, Mistress Earth Water, Fire, and what have you At my throne do all bow. I make things but not life I make creatures big and small wrought of my hands, my own designs Alas! they breathe not, even all–– though I be a god Ha! I laugh. All of nature I hold and in my fort they dwell Yet my powers, they fail me for still I be a mortal soul and when death’d come, I can’t tell My life’s gone and I am dust!
