Pleased to Meet You

Pleased to meet you.

But you better be pleased to meet me!

For I am the only one who is Me.

And I’m the only one who counts,

For I’m the one who’s experiencing all this:

For me.

Get it?

Doesn’t matter if you are the US President

Or Putin,

Or anyone else “Important”.

Nobody can affect

That what I experience

Is what I experience.

Nobody else will go through

Whatever I go though.

Nobody else will die with me,

Unless we happen to meet the same fate

Together!

You may be Royal

Or Rich,

Or All Powerful,

But all that matters to me

Is Me.

Maybe I’m Mad in saying this.

Perhaps the Whisky has taken hold.

Better than being depressed

I have to say.

Euphoria is better than gloom.

You too can be

As crazy as me.

Just free your mind

From the daily grind.

Never let those bastards

Grind you down.

Love yourself

And Love

Whatever there is

To Love.
