62. The Anatomy of Political Madness  

Behold, the galloping madness!

Haunted by the terrifying sound of the owl,

and the image in the mirror – a hyena in full drool -,

the King charges forth, unaware of the point

of no return on a perilous path.

 

Meanwhile, probity lies prostrate, defeated;

Ignorance rests its leg on it in smug triumph.

The cheer-squad, gripped by hysterical glee,

compete to out-laugh the hyena with their giggles.
