They cannot contemplate that he is a liar because to do so would cast the mirror upon themselves. He represented the world as perceived – a world defined by the doctrine of survival of the fittest at whatever cost and the belief in their superior selves.

They told me that this would be the third world war, ‘She’, they compared to Hitler. They, who have decimated our industries: the revisionist history. Those that will not accept that they own kind or themselves can inflict harm on themselves. And, so they swallowed the lies to protect their self-esteem. Social deprivation trauma, and so they lie: dreaming of Utopia.! History: this story has told them that they are the golden ones, incapable of not shedding light. So, every year they sing this song of hope and glory, grandeur achieved at no cost to others, for they bought forth civilisation to the world. In a world where gentlemen fought great battles, wars gave rise to heroes and heroic proses. They take pride in their righteous selves.

Utopia,

the white bull rises and obliterates all.

A figure — gleaming in the flashlights.

Hail, the applause reverberates, compresses the air and leaves them breathless. The oxygen sucked out of the atmosphere. Alas, the sky is still coloured blue.
