Anthem for the Modern World
I! Me! Mine!
Don't make me one with everything,
Mr. Hotdog Vendor,
for I am an individual!
It's my nature (or,
more accurately, my cultural heritage).
Me! Mine! My right!
I want! I need!
And everything that is NOT me or mine
would be wise to get out of my way.
Make way for ME!
For I am singular and share
no traits with anyone.
Being me, I require the attention of the world
which, without me,
would be a much poorer place.
The world without me?
Why, I can barely imagine it.
I'm sure a dispensation awaits me,
a waiving of the general rule about mortality
and its inevitability.
Surely a being as singular as I
will never be allowed to die.
