Mattoid Sonnet

 

I am above the law: I know what’s best,
The law was made for lesser men than me,
It’s not my fault I’m smarter than the rest,
It’s just the way it is and has to be.
I am the plutocrat, the oligarch,
I help control the world behind the scenes,
The politicians dance whene’er I bark,
I mould society to fit my dreams.
Democracy is just a hollow joke,
How can the masses make the proper choice?
It isn’t they who have to bear the yoke,
Mine is the duty, and the rightful voice.
I know what’s best, because my acumen
And wisdom means I’m not like other men.

It is unfortunate there must be wars,
But madmen like your Führer must be stopped,
They have charisma, but they’re frightful bores,
All who oppose my scheming get the chop.
The trouble is, you cannot understand
Either my idealism or my aim,
You call me evil, that’s untrue, I’m bland,
Yes, I’ve caused suffering, but you’re to blame;
If only you would let me rule in peace
Instead of trying to demand a say
In everything you do, all wars would cease
And my New World Order would have its way.
You don’t fathom me now, nor did you then,
But how can you? I’m not like other men.
