Through the porthole
Surveys what is his
The dictator-
Expropriator.
His ego
Has been raised
Above the heavens.

From whom else to take,
How to grow more famous?
He needs a great deal,
As if he were never going to die,
As if risen for all time.

His greatest interest —
That his business not vanish,
To prove his own greatness,
To take God by the beard.
