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!
