Invested in Peace

Modest in physical stature, surely yes

compensated by an eerie presence of 

command and control with the ambition 

to make full use of that steely penetration 

of gaze and utterly immobile face 

retaining its secrets shared only in the 

intimacy of the subconscious orchestrating 

decisions of the conscience. Ah of course 

we know that, it's the Napoleon Complex!

and this man ably demonstrates his

devotion to self and the jackal's agenda

ably moving his chess pieces forever ahead. 

There is that about this man that alerts others 

to his supreme self confidence, confiding 

in none, taking no measure elsewhere but 

from his very own muse. Unloved he is 

yet by those who surround him, admired and

feared. His is the final word beyond any

hint of dispute. Affection denied he courts 

an aura raising trepidation in those who 

would challenge him for he is that rare beast 

for whom resort to murder becomes routine.

So when his soaring legacy ambition takes

shape little wonder he orders his cowering

aides to plan a full-scale invasion bringing

conflict to a continent invested in peace.
