President Bashar al-Assad of Syria
(like so many hot-headed, firebrand demagogues)
Now responsible for 260,000-deaths, eleven-million
homeless…
In his self-inflicted, Civil War
Is looking inside another man’s pocket for something
which He does not have—
He is an unhampered dictator, digging a hole to get
sand to fill an old hole.
He has been for five years, like Daesh, who cares not
whose head goes in the wheelbarrow.
He is part of the signs of the times, the end times
called the Sorrows yet to come, before the apocalypse.
