The Mayor

The mayor was born a long time ago
of course, he wasn't the mayor then
because we made him the mayor out of love
and fear of his strong,handsome features

He loved his mother as a child
until he grew up and learned about his mother
and began to love her less for all her flaws
but baby boys do this all the time

When he was made mayor no one picked him
we weren't afraid of him, and sometimes
kids would play games on his lawn in defiance

But the mayor was a powerful man, even though
he wasn't and soon he was building tennis courts
and leading the colossus to the lot by his house
