What's the Time

What’s the time? The dictator is obsessed with time he has thousands of wrist-watches and wall clocks showing the time in different time zones. At noon, he checks the time zones if it is ten o’clock Somewhere else, he adjusts his star-studded Rolex In his mind, he has gained two extra hours. The time is a must for the dictator, he is getting old and fear the breath of the dead and the power. He spends too much time alone, only seeing people on the screen, political helpers consist of faces Suspicious by nature, he tries to read if the faces are treacherous trying to unseat him he needs total loyalty to feel secure, he knows he is right they are plotting against by fighting his war timidly yet know if he falls, they will perish too.
