Channeling Christopher Marlowe

I do not need friends

I am Tamburlaine
I am Faustus
I am the hated Edward the Second
I am Barabas, the Jew of Malta

I Stride the earth like a colossus
I Spurn the sight of Godly things
I care not what the world thinks of me
I think that my ends justify my means

You must learn to fear and worship me
You must never try to save me
You must, in the end, destroy me
You must mean to swindle me

I see that you Do not respect me
I see that you take to judging me
I see you no longer want me
I will see that you learn to regret it

You must understand, I am made of steel.
