The Uncouth Barbarian

The greatest deplorable of the modern era

momentarily shifted from a crowd-pleasing

address as though subconsciously responding to

a strange inner urge of autonomic pause in his

thoughts and in that instant a drama unfolded

sinister in intent yet prompting a visceral reaction

of belligerent triumph over adversity that

wished him dead, inspiring an adoring crowd

to conflate the arrogant boor with the future

in reflection of the nation's past, a man who

would be king and during a tenure led his

country and its policies in trying times to both

acclaim and denunciation. Convinced he is

destined to resume his historic pursuit as a

patriot and saviour of America, by escaping

death he has attained iconic status, a stalwart

and determined statesman emerged from the

raw embodiment of bombastic self-acclaim

transformed in the brief moment between life

and death, leaving his adversaries to bemoan

the many and varied tics between faith and fate.
