Head of the Table

Here at the top of the hill I drink all my wine and I swill Here from my own Vantage Point Watching the flies in the ointment Crimes against humanity Simply mean nothing to me Insular in the extreme I'm like the cat who got the cream I am the one who presides over all I am the one who can make you feel so small I am the head of the table I am both willing and able I am a modern day fable My power base, my power base is stable Here at the top of the tree I am just where I want to be I need physical proximity To control all those I oversee All of the eyes fix on me I am both judge and jury Holding court over my sheep I'll do the sewing and reaping I am the one Who controls all he sees I am the one Who shows no mercy to their pleas.
