Demons Among Us

https://dl6pgk4f88hky.cloudfront.net/2024/12/11/RTS5E2Z.jpg

Among we ordinary mortals who inhabit this mortal coil 

there are demons whose thirst for ultimate power makes life 

a hellish place where you wonder how many times do 

world leaders sell their souls to advance their own agendas 

as dictatorial piranhas, a conondrum to reflect in the 

apprehension that many appear to be born sans conscience

sans humanity, sans souls who tether their futures to the slimey 

fortunes of mass murderers whose psychopathy outdistances 

their own, serving as studies to advance from autocrat to tyrant.

Offering aid to serpents who rule captive populations under

the spiked boot that persecutes its own, examples abound\

but that of Vladimir Putin stands out as an inspiration to all

such ruthless megalomaniacs in the industry of war and

domination, selling a soul he never really inherited in a strange

genetic code that is the architect of human monsters. To

advance his geopolitical reach he bombs schools, hospitals

and houses of worship, until those he supports are deposed 

by the emergence of other demons indulging in mass slaughter

in a reign of regional terror with whom he arranges a renewed

agreement as he blandly and with malice aforethought takes

up his most current project, attacking a neighbouring nation

to destroy its national spirit and annex its vast lands and resources

for his very own personal territorial advantage and power.
