An Overture to Illumination

Below is a collection of my creative writing pieces, of prose, poetry, essays and scripts.

Tyrant

I sneeze and entire nations fall to their knees,
I raise a sword, and my enemies cry, and they bleed,
I laugh and the world shakes, the universe quivers,
I pile magic beans on magic beans and climb all the stalks to the sky,
I tell everyone that they can paint their ideas on my empire,
But I’ve silenced them before they can even speak,
I taunt, and I holler, and I defeat every ending,
I thought every fiber would be enough, but I can’t swallow fiber,
I can’t cry freshwater,
They say I control the world,
But I’m losing all my power.
