Shock and Awe

Some are simply born to rule
and they do it with icy aplomb
in the grandest of styles. Take the
archetype, the grand dame, she who
rules the universe; her entitlements
beyond belief, simply calling
upon her servants to do her bidding,
so powerful that no one, no thing,
no presence, no assumption or
presumption is capable of exerting
one iota of suggestion. She rules,
indifferent to outcomes, none 
favoured, all equally advantaged,
or disadvantaged, as the mood
takes her royal presence. She is
all things to all her creatures,
animate and inanimate alike, the
latter moving at her command, just
as the former tremble in exquisite
admiration and dread foreboding.
