Obsessed with his unique exceptionality
convinced that through extraordinary
powers of perception he feels himself
destined to lead, that his intellectual
resources, his experience, his birth
and his wealth have all equipped him
to attain the pinnacle of celebrity readily
transformed into an opportunity to take
on the reign of government, his talents
recognized through the acclaim his myriad
of unpolished followers have anointed
him with, convinced it is he who will lead
them to the promised land. God may have
chastised Moses but no one is entitled to
question decisions he reaches and orders
his minions to carry to fruition. The great
megalomaniac brooks no opposition to his
timely and astute interventions that confuse
and frighten onlookers yet delight those who
place their future in his grasping hands. But
they have been overruled and the empire built
on hubris and ignorance has crumbled. The
great man falters in disbelief, illusions shattered
but not his own, overwhelming the chaos in
his viscera, frenetic with rage, feeble in his
absolute inability to overturn capricious fate.
