National Poetry Writing Month: Day Thirteen, "How to Conquer the World"

I’ve decided to conquer the world,
Lead a quest of total domination,
I make this promise and give you my word,
That I’ll usher in a united nation.

People may fear me at the start,
I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised,
That as I burn both modern and old art,
They feel the beginning of their demise.

I’ll unleash a virus upon the internet,
To cripple communications completely,
And while the leaders scramble and fret,
I’ll be chuckling in the shadows gleefully.

I shall train and build my own private army,
To fight for me upon the ground level,
And as I display the fury of a tsunami,
The world will believe I am truly the devil.

Watch as I burn their precious crops,
To make certain their food supplies will fail,
I will ensure I am the one left on top,
And their generals shall be left in my jails.

You may think I’m being somewhat eccentric,
Or perhaps acting rather rash,
But you’ll think my performance is something electric,
When all you know becomes ruin, smoke and ash.
