With an umbrella

With an umbrella designed 

To stop a meteorite,

I saved the world tonight.


With my mind resigned

To gain no recognition

I wonder about transposition.


Because


There was a photo of me

Exploding that comet

Into sprays of fiery vomit. 


Yet there’s no photo of me

Nor does my name get a mention 

Will it ever gain esteemed retention?


And


My name is mud, I know,

My inclusion would embarrass

The elected suits and brasses 


But the seeds I did sow,

To save the world from strife -

I risked my one and only life!


So


With an umbrella designed

To enslave the world tonight,

I will shelter you all with fright. 


Start now to feel resigned,

Get ready for transposition,

For me to control your cognition.
