tyrant

 

every hero needs a villain       every villain thinks he’s a hero    conflict is the source of all drama      he would know about drama        he authored plenty       it took me an age to catch on      but he finally set me straight      he thought that I needed toughened up    he was teaching me how to hate      

a father’s love can crush a boy        or temper him in the fire     he's is just a story now      the family bogeyman       I play the hero in the tales that I tell         stories of love and hate   not as some dialectic process     but as a living contradiction       played out in a man-made hell
