The Battle For Sanity

I am Nebuchadnezzar As I eat grass As my arrogance and pride Turned me into an ass I am humbled, I am lost I am on all-fours And I cannot even count The cost I am Rommel As I charge through the sands As hot metal oil steel Conquers vast empty lands I am lost As I count the cost As billions of flies Sit on a thousand dead eyes I am Callas I am Coriolanus I am Yeats I am Bill Gates I am – I am One of a kind As the sleeve-strapped jacket Has buckled my mind I sing for my supper My supper sings back As my hidden fleet will scupper As my U-boat’s hulls crack And as I sink in my sleep My debris will rust Down to the deep Of madness and lust
