Gates
I've got a headache with your name on it
You never ever seem to learn
The suffering heart you make a toy of it
Do you want the world to burn?
So you found a way to control the masses, big deal
As your strings were being yanked
Can't see through your black tinted glasses, I feel
Your whole philosophy has tanked
But you carry on as if all that matters
Is your money and ooh your power
Conceited jerk the world is in tatters
Your control it's waning by the hour
If we ever meet I will slap you silly
To wipe that smirk off your face
Our world isn't a game to play Billy
We will unite as the human race
You never ever seem to learn
The suffering heart you make a toy of it

Conceited jerk the world is in tatters
Your control it's waning by the hour
If we ever meet I will slap you silly
To wipe that smirk off your face
Our world isn't a game to play Billy
We will unite as the human race

The first line came into my head and so I worked it from there. Sometimes that is a good way to write, to let it evolve as it goes.
Thank you, glad you like it

I like to do that too, start with a line and sometimes if I'm lucky, it builds itself, lol
I always enjoy your writing. 😊

Donald Trump springs to mind, naturally, although he's not that powerful, just thinks he is, right? This could of course be about me, lol, although I doubt it, cos I ain't rich & don't have any power. However, I may have 'charm' on occasion in limited quantities, lol. Did you have anyone particular in mind when you wrote this? 😊

No, it is not about you, silly.
We may not have much power as individuals, but together we have all the power and of course the ultimate responsibility.
There may be some clues as to who this is about, heh.

We may also have the ultimate personality too when together, lol, like Lennon/McCartney or Jagger/Richards. Yep, the penny has dropped, haha. If that's what you think of our Bill, what on earth must you think of Elon Musk? 😝

We are all together, like drops of water emanating from a single spring.
Elon? It's mixed feelings, all I know is that it isn't healthy for anyone to have such wealth. Ego can be a dangerous companion when not kept in check.

No fear. The hippies were right about some things, love and all that.
Unity is a nice word.

Glad you enjoyed it.
It's frustration, I want ego driven megalomaniacs of all persuasions out of the way so that humanity can find strength and purpose in unity, not least Billy boy here who I loathe with an obvious passion.
He and his likes are actually unwittingly assisting in speeding up their own power demise with their outrageous words and behavior, so it's not all bad.

That first line is magnificent. That's a country song in the making, and I mean that in a very good way. Excellent.
