Oh My God !

Head held high

This self appointed God

Walks on his feet of clay

Followed by an entourage

Of blinded fools

Egging him on

Reveling in his bloated contempt

As he walks on unmindful

Of the voice from within

Spouting words of wisdom

As he treads unfeelingly

Over corpses yet undead

Every word measured to hurt

Posing on a pedestal

Cracked at the base

Shallow, hollow

Like the words he speaks

It will rain one day…it will

He’ll be walking alone

When those fools run for cover

His feet…his feet

They will have left him too

What then, my God, what then?
