tucked away in your castle
master of the universe
isolated bunkered
guarded and surrounded
basking in delusions

one wild card and suddenly
your masterplan does not compute
so beneath you
your house of cards
tumbles tumbles tumbles
without net or safeguard

question is
do you dare
to reinvent yourself
