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
