Autocrat

in his hand the wheel
his mind the power to steer
mankind the fuel

Very cleverly described Harry. I guess I know who you are talking about and mankind is his collateral ...Maria

A very profound and intriguing write Harry, which causes me to linger over your words.. can he steer mankind in the right direction though.. or drive us to our demise..? An excellent write.. Warmest wishes ~Susan

This is really clever.. I wonder which humans are petrol and which are diesel.... and are the non pollutant ones the good ones?

I think here we have more than meets the eye. In this case we have a profound Senryu dear, Harry!

Many people believe that they have the power to rule the roads just because they sit behind a wheel! Overconfidence or contempt could easily prove to be their undoing. Regards // paul
