Flat World

Dude, this world is not oval or round 
It is flat right like the plate I take food 
It is not a big planet either 
And must be smaller than my intestine 
That is why I could not get enough food to eat 
Though I work hard singeing my bones and skin. 

This world is not moving either 
It is stationary like a huge stone 
I try to move it aside 
But It jumps back quickly on my chest 
Making my breathing a difficult task
 
Then an idea came to my mind 
And I think the idea is not so bad 
No need no hammer it out 
No need to push and tug a pull 
Just let it be there as it is  
And make it a comfortable seat 
Since then I have been sitting on a throne 
 The emanating aura that I get makes me feel 
I am at the top 
And of the world I am only the invincible king.
