PutinTHE DESPOT
Living in a Closed World
The Autocrat Who Blinded Himself
He lives in a closed universe knows almost nothing about how normal people live, feel and bleed
He only listens to himself and ideas that he believes are his own He demands full obedience and defines alone what is to be true
His inflated ego gives no space to other people He blindly pursues his brutal goal about conquering neighboring countries
His chest hides a dead heart Inside him there is no empathy
He cultivates his distorted ideas about its own greatness He paints himself into a corner and does not see it
He loses his orientation to reality feeling increasing discomfort Desperately he tries to control his people and the world through blind oppression
The day is approaching when he will face his fate sheltered behind the thick walls in his fortress of power
