Selfish, And Proud

A poem.

If I was a warrior
Valhalla were too small a reward

If I was a mortal soul
Utopia would a prize not do

If I was Snowball
Sugarcandy mountain were too little a promise

If I was a god
Olympus were too wretched an abode

If I was a lost soul
Sheol were too subtle a recompense

If I was an angel
Nirvana were too light an endowment

If I was a demon
Tartarus were nothing for shackles

All hail my awesome self
I’m selfish, and proud!

I’m human.
