Toto the God

Attire of snobbishness and hatred Juju quiet sure in hand Made him feel he was peerless He built his hut high up a mass Where he was living just as God He made people bowing for him Calling himself an unexcelled And none dare to challenge him Whenever he walked, trees bowed As just the people bend He could waft within the air and Without his legs touching the soil He could morph to whatever he wanted He could command none-living to talk and stroll Also he could communicate with birds Not for once his machine had failed These made it seem like it had no end There was a day he was on a stand Whirling and tossing water up-down with spell At the shore of a rill A girl was coming toward where he was Although her tendency was mysterious And upon reaching where he was She salaam void bow and didn't look at where he was Toto was extreme furious He called back the girl with fire in eyes "Aren't you have eyes to see who I am?" "Aren't you fear my charm?" "For you ought to be rolling on soil" "Pleading me to spear your soul!" "For you're merely an ant!" "I might end you within a wee minute!" He said. The girl moved back to him without utter a word And upon reaching him, she said. "I'm light----you're darkness" "Why should light be fearing darkness" "My lord is greater than ever" "And I shall fear never" "And darkness shall disappear" She turned back and went But Toto never leaved a point Where he stood Till the scene was closed.
