The Green-Eyed Master
“You disgust me,
You Trump wanna be!
How can you even look yourself in the mirror
You’re a worthless - minus - less than zero
Get out of my sight and don’t return at my feet
Until your pointless life is rewritten with conceit
You’re a born winner, don’t accept defeat
Ego is the number one cause of all deceit?!
So what if you’re loathed or despised by some
Your deeds will be greater than their collective sum
You were born poor and you’ll die likewise
Unless you get the green to buy your paradise
My purpose is to ensure the continued balance
Between love, envy and an appetite for opulence
I’ll not rest until your blood is dyed a deep green
And your soul is completely consumed by greed
And all the riches and successes you can gather
I’ll take for my own glory - so why even bother?
Do you get that, mister?”
'Yes Master!'
