Toto the God
Attire of snobbishness and hatred
Juju quiet sure in hand
Made him feel he was peerless
He built his hut high up a mass
Where he was living just as God
He made people bowing for him
Calling himself an unexcelled
And none dare to challenge him
Whenever he walked, trees bowed
As just the people bend
He could waft within the air and
Without his legs touching the soil
He could morph to whatever he wanted
He could command none-living to talk and stroll
Also he could communicate with birds
Not for once his machine had failed
These made it seem like it had no end
There was a day he was on a stand
Whirling and tossing water up-down with spell
At the shore of a rill
A girl was coming toward where he was
Although her tendency was mysterious
And upon reaching where he was
She salaam void bow and didn't look at where he was
Toto was extreme furious
He called back the girl with fire in eyes
"Aren't you have eyes to see who I am?"
"Aren't you fear my charm?"
"For you ought to be rolling on soil"
"Pleading me to spear your soul!"
"For you're merely an ant!"
"I might end you within a wee minute!"
He said.
The girl moved back to him without utter a word
And upon reaching him, she said.
"I'm light----you're darkness"
"Why should light be fearing darkness"
"My lord is greater than ever"
"And I shall fear never"
"And darkness shall disappear"
She turned back and went
But Toto never leaved a point
Where he stood
Till the scene was closed.
