Ahem

"Ahem"
Ahem
Time keeps flying
I'm trying
They keep prying
Continually lying
And spying
Because they want to see me crying
Frying
Then dying
To me it's not terrifying
To them it would be satisfying
They thought
It would be a shock
And stop me, but it did not
Far too oft
They talk
And mock
But the irony of it, is that I'm not the bad guy like Doc Ock
I don't know or care if they ever got
Whatever it is that they want
Sheep continue to flock
And predators are out to stalk
Typical bull **** seen around the clock
Secrets buried, submerged or hidden behind a lock
Good intentions, and sinister plots
Only being half-assed, or out to get it at all costs
Many found their way, and others were lost
They attempted to hit me where it hurt
But it never worked
Only made me go berserk
For what it's worth
You're no better than other scum on this Earth
Won't be the last or the first
It's been an endless search
Since birth
Been blessed yet cursed
I've done better, and I've done worse
They just can't relate
Or appreciate
Therefore they hate
And try to eliminate
Night and day
At any time and place
Because they find it great
They already got plenty
Yet they keep being so petty
They'll act all friendly
But they just really want a levy
On you, so they can remain wealthy
Meanwhile you struggle to stay healthy
Because your pockets are empty
From them taking every single penny
This life can be rather heavy
And deadly
Especially if it involves envy
Unfortunately, it's been the outcome for many
