He treats his loved ones
Like a plate of corn:
Useful only for nourishment,
To be discarded when he’s done.
_____________________
He treats Waiters
Like flies
Buzzing above a pond.
_____________________
He disregards friends’ advice
And contrary opinions.
_____________________
He thinks the world is beneath him:
He is King,
And all human beings are his pawns.
_____________________
He treats you
The way he treats everyone.
_____________________
And there you were thinking
That you were
The Special One.
