Are you my Nemesis?
Raining righteous
Vengeance from above,
Quelling hubris;
Dark companion star of man?
Are you my Nemesis?
Tempting me till
Right has lost its path,
Echoing Narcissus;
Smug vanity?
Are you my Nemesis?
Purposeful but lost
Into the world,
Pleasured life;
Epicurean here and now?
Are you my Nemesis?
Pop-cultured
Neutrality;
Champions lost
for weak and weary.
Are you my Nemesis?
Inescapable
Fortune beheld in victory,
Armed to flay and weigh;
Impartial justice.
Are you my Nemesis?
Goaded goddess,
Implacable;
Unmitigated
Truth?
Are you my Nemesis?
Elusive, fatalistic, flawed of countenance?
So I’m asking.
Are you my Nemesis?
Or am I my own?
