Role-playing

By all means, explain,
Sanctimonious bitch.
Call it what you will,
Moralize the pain.
Admit that you see,
But call it the greater good.
Watch them gasp for breath
And sweep up their debris.
You're surprised the world crumbles?
Don't like how she falls?
What else could be when you exist;
God's little fumbles.
I condone the role I've played
(A story needs a villain),
But like any woven tale
The hero's more than portrayed.
Go ahead and act as their penicillin,
Feed your deity-complex.
I'll sit here and preach quixotically.
I'm content to play the villain.
