Megalomaniac


I man
The regal Sun,
It is always I.

I dictate
The iridescent sky,
It is always I.

I command
The requisite air,
It is always I.

I rule
The emerald sea,
It is always I.

I marshal
The ethereal wind,
It is always I.

I dominate
The resolute mountains,
It is always I.

I manipulate
The infernal fire,
It is always I.

I govern
The celestial Moon,
It is always I.

I master
Life and Death,
It is always I.





So, I decided to leave a postscript on this one. Here goes it:
I decided to try something new this time and this was the product. I decided to make this one fairly technical which is something I have never really tired before. As you probably already know, a megalomaniac is someone who has a grandiose sense of self-importance and power. He, or she(equality people, equality) is truly the epitome of a pathological egotist. It is always the 'I' that is so intricately tied to power and importance. I've used 'I' at the start and the end of every stanza to reiterate this sentiment. Since, 'I' is the 9th alphabet, the structure holds 9 stanzas, each stanza in turn having no more than 9 words. It also goes a full cycle, starting with the day and ending with the night.
