Consumed by inchoate rage at the world
that fails to recognize the greatness of spirit
that resides within them as leaders of nations
they pledge to make greater in influence and wealth
they wage their endless wars in the name of their
gritty ambitions, secure in the subterranean
depths of their soulless minds that they will prevail
while the world quivers and quavers in fear of
the powers of psychopaths enraptured by their
manipulative narcissistic successes persuading
a cabal of like-minded admirers, tyrants all
that they are driven not by territorial greed but
by the noble goal of extirpating the fascistic
stench they identify in a neighbour's dark culture
purposing to save the population of that targeted
nation from the clutches of a damned neo-Nazi
leadership in the process of which endless bombs
destroy civilian infrastructure, people by the tens
of thousands are slaughtered and the aggressors
portray themselves as kind and forbearing, yet
furious at their targets' stubborn insistence on
self-defense, angrier yet at charges that they are
themselves brooding beasts intent on destruction.
