Intelligent

Being the top of your class is what you were
Fate would deliver you a chance to top yourself
You knew the consequences but never thought you would suffer
A chance to be a god and you rid the world of people who didn't fit your mold
Just as intelligent as you are
It is sad what you have become

Writing names in a death note and signing their fate
40 seconds to write a name, another 6 minutes and 40 seconds to write their cause of death
News reports mentioned deaths of heart attacks and you kept on killing
Ice cold water flowed through your veins
Just as intelligent as you are
You were signing your own life away as well

You thought you were smarter than the police
Getting yourself arrested and erasing your memories
All the while you set up patsies knowing you would reclaim the notebook
The memories would flood back but they couldn't pin it on you
Just as intelligent as you are
Your pride would become your downfall

You blended in and took over as if he never existed
As you tried to clean up the world you got careless
Since he was no longer around you; you thought you were unstoppable
Then when you got shot repeatedly even your shinigami abandoned you
Just as intelligent as you are
The joke ended up being on you
