if you think you're safe, let me tell you
somebody is going to find out
and when they do, it's NEVER going to leave them.

they'll hold onto it like it's the essence that's keeping them alive
there they'll stand, "all powerful"
like the "god" they presume themselves to be

but a god is not them, for they are mortal
a husk with such little power on the larger scale
there they stand, trying endlessly
to change the nature of reality in their favor

the power they believe is at stake will consume them,
so let them know, for it will not hurt you
the universe will simply laugh in reverence at its mockery.
