Ego Trippin

Knowledge puffs up

Well… I’m about to blow

I am so sure of myself, I never change

Men who have lived, I can cause them not to live with no adverse effect

Whenever I want something, I never pay a cent

I have no value I am known by what I’m worth

When I walk the Earth

Seasons shorten to my comfort

Winter shortens and tells me to the second, when he’ll be back

Summer elongates

She tip toes around me, because nothing makes me sweat

Every time I speak I create a new language

I talk to nature

I teach nature

I taught it how to speak

I am intelligence

J. Edgar Hoover and all his lineage fear me

I get a percentage from everything sold on Earth

I let the Black Panthers choose the interests rates

I wrote the game of chess

As… I created the sound waves for humans to hear the instructions

I always win in two moves

I dwell in every dimension and generation simultaneously

Yet I am one

I know only addition and multiplication

I am the legitimate Father of the 12 Tribes of Israel

Dinosaurs are my pet

I domesticated them

When I say sit

They never move and become fossils

I don’t breathe air

I don’t drink water

Life respects me so much

It labors to keep me alive

King Solomon studies my books

I am a miracle

I know water’s weight

When I talk to humans I discern their molecular state

Thunder asks for my permission before it strikes

King David is the general of my army

As my wife ages she redefines beauty generation after generation

Aristotle was my student

Plato plagiarized my work

I am the energy that sustains Earth

The greek gods worship me

They offer me burnt sacrifices and do my will

The Hindu gods are my slaves

The Egyptian gods entertain me

The pyramids were built for me, but they were too simple in construction

I am the mind of the Universe

I can alter the past with no adverse effect

I dwell in the Heavenly courts

Yet there are others above me

If everybody became a poet the world would be much better. We would all read to each other.
