To pose unabashedly as a cynic is not generally
viewed with admiration but to be a sanctimonious
cynic with only the sanctimony visible presenting
as empathy and a desire to be of public service
is the hallmark of a political genius who instinctively
knows how to capture the trust and loyalty of those
targeted to bring a democratically elected leader
to power through a willing electorate. Outgoing
personability, a modest demeanor, a winning smile
promising sincere intent and a comely physical
appearance all initial aids to vaulting ambition
by a practised egotist within a studied thespian
with ambitions to make a nation his stage to
international acclaim. In a climate of universal
threat to public well-being heralding an opportunist
impassioned defence of looting the national treasury
to gain the voting public's economic equilibrium
castigating the wealthy even while consorting
with them as an equal the most efficiently effective
insurance that a spirit of public indebtedness in
gratitude of trust installed through funding to
those not needing it, but known to vote appropriately
in appreciation lends credence to the concerns of
clear-eyed critics understanding full well that
democracy is no guarantee of sound governance.
