College as a mental Stahlgewitter

Triumph of the Will

I am a coffee-drinking
paper-spewing
zombie-eyed machine.
I am a crazy-thinking
problem-hewing
Übermenschen dream.

So what if not-so-humble
will I tumble
from this haughty seat?
Awesome will be the rumble
when I crumble
and my maker meet.

What seems a failed endeavor
is forever
transformed into strength.
Unfazed & hardened lever
am I ever
infinite in length.

Caffeine & ego striving,
power-driving,
master at the helm:
U-58 Matthew Opitz,
combat diving,
foes I overwhelm.

Torpedoes primed & ready
sights are steady,
locked onto the kill—
What joy in regimental
extreme mental
Triumph of the Will!
