The Most Dangerous Man In The World…
Is he who knows restraint,
Whilst holding the keys to apocalypse.
Dangling the fate of the world –
Too close to the sun!
Perfecting the killing arts,
Swearing oneself to pacifism thereafter.
What is killed,
Cannot be born again.
What is killed,
Cannot stand to fight for others.
What is killed,
Is finality.
I’ve been weak!
I’ve been strong!
I’ve been UNSTOPPABLE!
REFUSE THEIR WEAPONS.
Only our fists and feet to guide us,
Fighting with our own strength.
The heroes are all dead.
THE HEROES ARE ALL DEAD!
I STAND AGAINST POWER.
Shield the weak beneath my arms,
Protect the innocent behind my frame.
The heroes are all dead.
Only us Villains remain behind.
Forced to reflect upon our legacies…
Traumas,
Trials,
Battles,
Struggles.
Heroes are born good.
We never were.
WHAT A RIOT!
When us Supervillains play at heroes!
Good show!
Those spurned by society,
Left to rot in the gutters and valleys.
Carrion for the ravens.
One must contain multitudes.
I NEED YOU TO BE STRONG!
Evil cannot battle injustice alone.
Not even I am that powerful.
We were born to die.
We were born to suffer.
We were born to serve.
I REFUSE.
MY DESTINY IS MY OWN!
I will fight across a thousand battlefields!
If it promises you freedom.
I will yield my armor,
Made up of impossibility.
You wear it.
You need it more than I do.
This?
This.
THIS!
This is my love language –
Gifting away power,
Donating the savant.
Piecemeal offerings of self.
I will tear myself apart,
So each of you might hold a piece.
That way I can keep you safe,
From false heroes.
The shield of critical thought.
Rifle of righteous purpose.
Don’t trust me.
I cannot trust myself.
Just a demon in a cage of his own design,
Monster held within a prison.
Removing oneself from their species,
Dissected from without.
CAN YOU SEE THE ZEITGEIST?
It’s all I’ve ever wanted.
Only present…
That could fill the gaping void.
Feed upon creativity,
Drinking from souls.
There isn’t a human alive,
More dangerous than I am.
The weight of the world,
Perched upon my shoulders.
Atlas,
I will devour you.
Sisyphus,
I will consume you.
Such human history as this!
When false grandiosity –
Meets resolve.
Some are born good.
Some overcome our own evil natures,
Through great suffering.
Some of us Villains do not.
We drown in our stories,
Strangle ourselves with toxicity.
I am not so foolhardy,
As to walk forwards –
Praising myself as the hero.
What arrogance.
What ignorance.
One must deconstruct the self –
Peel apart our horrors,
Use terror as tool,
Comprehend ourselves down,
Every atom.
Our world is upside down!
When malevolence stands for justice,
Guarding humanity against evils –
Greater than our own.
FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE!
Pit evils against evils.
I was discarded,
A hundred times or more.
I will not be thrown away anymore.
Dictated down to,
Am I not a mastermind?
DO MY PLOTS NOT SPAN SPECIES?
IS MY GOAL NOT UTOPIA?
I am sick.
And tired.
Of people standing in my way.
Talking down to me.
As if I couldn’t teach them tenfold,
Kill them with my bare hands,
Ascend them towards enlightenment.
Don’t misread my intent.
I will sacrifice everything for you.
Until my bones molder,
My poems, stories are left fallow…
Memories of my legacies.
I?
I?
I?
I?
We.
Us.
All.
We must be better.
The most dangerous man in existence,
Is he who stands in peace.
Knowing how deep the violence could go.
They who preach learning,
Rather than damnation.
I might be a Villain…
But I know the difference –
Between right or wrong.
I’ll spend a lifetime.
…
You?
