Like a child
indulging in merry making with his toy car
his prized gift which his father presented to him
on his birthday.
Like an iron-fisted ruler
dominating his subjects
with the sledge hammer
of arrogance and hubris
thereby terrorizing them
with a mistaken notion that he is
the Super power
who reigns supreme
seems like, we the world citizens
have something to experience delight
and boast about.
And a lot more to shed tears.
While the child’s happiness
reflects his innocence
that of the iron-fisted ruler
pushes us to undergo
a long chain of nightmares over the
wicked deals of the dictator.
