You are the true ruler of the land,
Your dominance absolute.
You wear no masks and do as
you like, always in control.
In the time of the pyramids
you would show man the way
through darkened corridors,
guiding your charges through
dancing shadows with a show
of your generous benevolence.
On other occasions you could
show your wrath, taking away
homes, land, or life at your whim.
You indiscriminately bring joy or
sorrow, at your discretion.
Every man or animal on this planet
admire and fear your authority.
Except for one species, swimming in
a liquid home under the moonlight.
The fish does not know you, fire.
