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.
