How frequently and fervently with
conviction can one lie without being
identified as lacking credibility? How
often lapses in ethics before being
recognized as lacking judgement?
How depraved their unseen actions until
they are revealed as the immoral acts
of a unprincipled leader? How egotistical
their confidence in personal illogic and
lack of commitment to recognize the
presence of a narcissistic sociopath?
Imagine the relief of governing autocrats
the world over when one of their own
has finally unleashed his true persona
as a malevolent psychopath directing
his nation to an act of such wide-ranging
destabilization, their own governing failures
are hardly noticed, as the very archetype
of a disastrous leader wreaks destruction
and death, impacting an entire continent
and then another, wrapping the globe
in a shuddering sense of deja vu as the
world knuckles down to face poverty and
famine while the pitiless death count
inexorably rises and the epic malefactor
brings odium and ruination on his head.
