Poem about Myths and Legends

How The Mighty Have Fallen

When myths and legends merge with reality

Boundaries disappear become hazy.

I have walked the earth since Adam

Of smokeless scorching fire made.

Your Qarin, friend and whisperer

Testament of Solomon points to our enslaver.

To ward me off, verses were recited,

In temples I was worshipped.

Now I am part of the popular culture

Thrice Bartimaeus was my disciple

Starred in Wish-master, Kazaam

Cameos in X-Files, Supernatural, Charmed

Captured the games in Final Fantasy, Guild Wars

Hit the charts in, Genie in a Bottle

Made a caricature of in Aladdin and Duck Tales.

Does this perchance suggest a decline

In mankind’s perception of me?
