Lost in Egoism


we tooks our tens in the mental colosseum

i steadied my crosshairs my crosshairs at your mistakes

your egotism led me to this side of the spectrum

 

i judged your importance on an island

instead of through the universe

when i stood alone

i laughed at the impoverished

i ignored the victims of leprosy

i was despised their lesions

you laughed at me

i needed treatment

i threw you away

your hospitals had malpractice

 

i said to live i needed to throw away inflection

you said to live i needed a colony

 

once the corners were decided

i took up my pistols

the confrontation ended with the paces

watching the smoke spread from only my muzzle

i realized i was missing something
