homo sacer, sacrificial man
inconsequential to the matter at hand
culture of violence, and violence begets
no self-consciousness is his regret.
a sovereign gaze of fear
in his own unclear sphere
are separate and separable zones
above and below his throne.
the difference between the real,
espoused by his supposed appeal,
and the fake demeanor he assumes
is one day sure to be his final doom!
