By any measure of civilizational mores
these men are certifiable psychopaths
posing as great leaders of other men in a
persuasion of national passion leaving the
impression of stalwart defence of a nation
as a screen to their personal ambitions entirely
revolving around their narcissistic drive to
control and dominate. Pathological liars
given to violent rhetoric and in fits of psychotic
rage bloodlessly ordering their military minions
to destroy, rape, pillage, murder in massive
paroxysms of bloodletting, impassively
uttering ultimatums and punishing threats.
Their grim march to territorial gains leaving
behind scenes of bleak desolation as people
flee in terror of their lives. The horrors they
wreak upon their own oppressed merely a
symbol that nothing is sacred save their own
ambitions. So when two such protagonists face
one another in bitter acrimony a brief universal
sigh in hope of mutual destruction whispers in
the atmosphere, only to be exhaled in the
misfortune of an opportunity wasted when the
two resolve enmity and conflict in a truce.
