Yes, My Ego Needs To Be Served...

Written for 3WW Prompts: Janky, Conniption & Scooch


Yes, My Ego Needed To Be Served…


A mistake was about to happen
I wasn’t able to foresee
But he could and as usual
He expressed it, but how could he
I was in power and
He didn’t have any right to
Be wiser than me, so
In spite of his warning
I chose to use my veto and
Overlooked his wisdom
My misadventure resulted
In a janky situation
As the fears projected proved true
And I had a conniption fit
But wasn’t unduly worried
Since I had never forgiven
The lesser one for the mistakes
I had been doing to him
So once again he got blamed
And I, the powerful, relaxed
In the glory of my own conceit
What a perk for being in power
Nothing wrong, a normal way in which
The world moves on and the lesser ones
Can’t even scooch, prefer a status quo
For, a known devil is better always
Than an unknown one.. and so I thought
But then if he chose to move, I shuddered
For I knew, power also gets bestowed
On those who were strong enough
To take responsibility for their mistakes
And the talented always had the choice..
Yet I wasn’t bothered, for I knew
I would find someone else
Yes, my ego needed to be served constantly
