All The World's His Stage

Illustration of city landscape with nuclear bomb hovering above the city.

DO NOT take your eyes off this man. Do

observe his eyes -  cold, hooded reptilian. Eyes

may be the mirror of the soul but if the soul is

absent in its place is sheer ambition to succeed

where others once reigned in torment to the

world they tyrannized. No force of arms nor

pleas moved them from their brutal onslaught

of all that was civilized, and nor will it this man.

His calculating mind instructed by a demented

drive to rule the masses, his own and that of 

other states knows no bounds of restraint. Should

he determine the time is right to strike he does.

Leaders of the free world shrink back in horror

in the unbridled lust for power at the cost of

lives other than his own, his grim countenance

lashing his generals to swift victory. But when 

his victim plays out the courage of resistance

on a bloody battlefield littered with the tyrant's

corpses he does not blanche. Looking outward to

his critics he reminds them that the very last word

is his, a nuclear arsenal at his disposal should

all else fail. His plans gone awry triggering a

final grim lashback of totalitarian nihilism
