God Complex
What am I?
A glass ceiling shattered
I, the shard in the breeze
Within the roots of creation
You can see it start at the trees
I am God in the flesh,
His heart on my sleeve
What am I?
A sentiment being
Comprised of a cog; a machine
Attuning nature & my mind,
Within the fog & the leaves
I am God in the flesh,
His heart on my sleeve
What am I?
A tide from the moon,
That remains lost in the seas
A vagabond looking for treasure chests,
That's been tossed with the keys
I am God in the flesh,
His heart on my sleeve
What am I?
A glass ceiling shattered,
I, the shard in the breeze
Watching humanity collect:
An interplanetary wall of debris
Look through it all & you'll seize,
A split image of us reflecting,
A God in the flesh.
His heart on our sleeve.
What am I?
I am a God.
