The Mind of the Mastermind

At sight he is the middle class working man

But, the truth is that his life is a puzzle game

He seems to be a simple cloud in the sky

However he moves strategically to precipitate sublime



Like a ghost he comes and goes through the middle of the crowd

Using the Golden Triangle he builds his empire

He enforces his brand and fabricates his style

Read his personality, “Elegant Wild”



Struck at the snitches, wipes out his fingerprints

Is like a thief in the night which picks the lock and smoothly seizes

His mind, his word and his fist control his show

No one seems to challenge the underground boss



His mind is driven by his strict moral code

Since a little boy his eyes recorded the pain which made him strong

Excuses are lies we tell ourselves to serve as mediocrity’s slaves

He’s the Shepherd that leads his heard quietly but strikes with his cane



The verbal book taught him survival in the concrete jungle

Look at his eyes, their full of pain and sorrow

However, no obstacles distracts him from the shinning star

Success is a must in the mind of the mastermind
