Analysis of Steve Jobs (The Inhumanity Of Perfection)
Mesmerized by his own
success
A tiger lay stalking
inside
An eighth world wonder
built deeply in sand
His achievements cried for him
as he lied
The one link he had
to a legacy born
Asked for only one thing
as he spurned
The one thing he remained
unwilling to give
As the fear of his mortality
—returned
