The Plastic God

 

He seems to have a certain magic.

Some think of him as God.

He charms with words, with smiles

But the magic is only a facade.

 

I see beneath the bottle burnished gold.

He has been wounded once.

And now he strikes at anyone

Who holds the key into tomorrow.


He thought I had a wondrous magic,

The key that opened all the doors,

And with his sword he cut me down.

He took my magic from me.


It hurt him so to see me happy,

While he himself cried lonely tears alone.

Apollo will give me back my magic

And with it I could strike this creature down.


But Hera taught me many things

The most important thing was love.

I cannot strike down the striker

Being but a mortal, he would never know.


My father Zeus has taught me so much wisdom

The Myers's of this world cannot atone

For in striking out at others wonders

He strikes and wounds and kills himself alone.


For B. Myers who cries on the inside while he tries to convince the world he's happy.
