He's Unimportant

whether with their love

and admiration

or hate

and admonishment,

what he wanted

most of all

was for people

to think him

the most important 

person

in the world

 

every time you say his name

no matter how much you think

you're getting the last word in

he's wins the game, again

it's not just worshippers,

afterall,

but also ardent deniers

that spread a god's name

that turn men into idols

that give the childish

desired attention

 

you say, "but he's

a demogogue"

well, don't psychopaths,

afterall,

relish the trial?

he'll sit there 

arms folded with a smile

knowing

a world of people have surrendered

their day and doing something better, 

from any accomplishment

removed themselves

to once again watch him

for that's what he wanted

he wins,

how ever it ends

 

he's unimportant

but you can't see it,

he can't feel it, learn it

if you sit there with baited breathe

if you say his name again

Yes, but in the man's

Yes, but in the man's defense, why should we care? with a hometown turned upside down thereby emptied of precious purses from zero-gravity alien sucking it all asunder?


bananas are the perfect food

for prostitutes

'Why should we care?' - Indeed, the question.
