Analysis of Master Of It All



Should God destroy a mountain,
—because you're afraid of heights

Should the sun stay fixed forever,
—to keep away the night

Should the birds all sing in unison,
—drowning out the siren’s call

Should the questions all have answers,
—with you, master of it all

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2016)
