Nine McCartney - I Am God

I Am God explores the ideas of self and power. McCartney expresses anger at the realities of his surroundings, and his working class experience in western society, whilst heavily referencing black and religious culture.

This is a poem about the power of self, when everything around you is seemingly falling apart.
