Trapped in the Phantom Zone

by General Zod - Aquarius

Here I lie
trapped in this endless eternal void
banished to a life of imprisonment
spinning aimlessly through space
in suspended animation
surrounded by darkness
doomed to damnnation
forced to reflect upon the ways of my errors

I will constantly be haunted and reminded
of all my self-professed sins
The Selfishness
The Vanity
The Greed
The need to fuel my egotistical ambitions
for global conquest and supreme domination
I was to be the ultimate champion
the Greatest of all time
Victory was to be mine
There I was, plotting, scheming
picking at everyone's weaknesses
laughing at their defeats, their misfortunes
Damn, I was so fucking diabolical, so arrogant
so in love with my own legend
My ulterior motives
my lust for power
they were to put me at a higher level
to be the best of the best
bigger and better than all the rest
anywhere and everywhere
east, west, worldwide

But the fuckin' joke is on me
defeat only presents me
with an infinite guilt
a great shame
and with a clear sense of humility
I have no one to blame but myself
for my own arrogance
the overconfidence
the betrayals, the backstabs
this is what I get for wanting
to sink to a lower level
with Evil Serpents, their Lackeys,
Pornells, Irresponsible Clowns,
and Envious Adversaries

Here in this dark eternal void
I will remain forgotten
isolated from all humanity
just a faded memory
this is my own doing, my own fate, my wrath
my sentence is to be trapped in this Phantom Zone

Reason for writing:

    This joint represents the regrets I have towards all my prior ambitions and goals in order to achieve power and status. They were all for the wrong reasons and now I all I can do is remember and learn from these past mistakes.
