When the mighty fall does the
impact of the toppling resonate in
the forest of aghast onlookers
dependent on its power to deter
vicious tyrants from crushing the
vulnerable or is that whimper
obscured by the penetrating shouts
of approval by those who gain by
its absence? Dependence on a sadly
doddering elder scarce able to
identify who he is, where he is, what
to do when faced with opposition
reflects a nation whose time has
lapsed, prepared to exit centre stage
while in the wings wait gleeful
dictators whose malice to outwit
the witless succeeded to the degree
that places the world on notice.
