Vanity

Eversince, women have been blamed,
for every occurence in history.
Maybe for my upbringing by Pandora,
with jealousy, envy, yearn and histery.
Greed, hate, love, passion,
mainly all of female gender,
so when she opened her Box,
it was just a favor to render.

I was hanged chained to a cliff
where vultures fed on my liver,
I used to reign the Kingdom of Nile,
fetters replaced by wealth and glitter.
Inquisition's iron boot tortured
my heritage as an Islamic,
now my shoe rack is filled,
with Louboutins and M. Blahnik.

I was burried in the sands of Sakkara
when Roosvelt chased after the Leader,
I led the Jews out of Egypt,
although their chances were quite meager.
I'm the primal idea,
behind every great discussion,
I gave Uroz the courage
to win Kabul's Royal buzkashi.

I reinforced Taiko's will, unifying
the Country of rising Sun in peace,
I welded Menelaus' Fate with a wife,
who unified the troops of entire Greece.
I started the slavery,
getting rich in Messina,
I was the one to drop
the first bomb on Hiroshima.

I am Napolen's drive
I am the muse of Sigmund Freud,
I am the one who decided, that
'Cartago must be destroyed!'
I was there when Tschernobyl exploded,
misshaping nations at long last,
when i was burning at the martyr pyre,
then first 'the dice were cast'.

I am the reason even saviours loose their sanity.
Eve is not to blame, it's me:
My name is Vanity.
