Carrying the World
My back hurts from carrying the entire world.
Honestly I think I should get some sort of reward.
My mood controls the weather, so much that Zeus envies me because
whenever I walk into a room I thunder more than him.
I capture more eyes than Medusa.
And don’t even think that Poseidon’s waves can stop me.
You best believe that I tower over the world I made.
I built Rome in a day, 
so the Gods were kind enough
to let me live up in the clouds.
I am the textbook definition of serene.
Oh that reminds me!
Cleopatra once asked me, “Hey what's your skin care routine?”
I was kind enough to help Michelangelo paint the sistine chapel
and then afterwards I had to help Napoleon conquer Europe.
I am out of this world just like
when my good friend Newton discovered gravity.
You should also probably know that da Vinci used me as a reference
when painting the Mona Lisa.
You might want to know how I have so much time.
Well, it's because I age like fine wine
and my beauty is the most divine.
Did you know that I am one of the 7 wonders in the world?
My hair is made from the finest silk
and my eyes were handcrafted from the rarest gems,
so of course I must have the midas touch.
I have people who follow and admire me. 
I swear they love me more than Caesar.
They listen to what I preach,
to be honest I’m more convincing
than Mark Antony’s funeral speech.
I think I have chronic back pain from carrying the world .
I should probably get it checked out,
but right after I get myself some more clout.
