Power's Weakness

The crazed obsession to rule the lives of others rends the ruler's humanity into tatters, feeds, fills and bloats his overweening vanity, deludes the ego with invincibility. But stripped of his mask, the tyrant shall fall apart for pomp and vainglory hide a sham, hollow heart of a cursed, cowering canine that creeps to crawl through labyrinthine caves of what's left of his soul!
