his eloquent elocution
he was electrocuted like some uncommon criminal
right there on live television for all the galaxy to see
federation of planets feared his demise was
anything but permanent
summoning their agents across vast jurisdictions
as herod once did
there is no telling what will come next
once the newborn has survived infancy
growing unnoticed and unadulterated
ultimately mastering his eloquent elocution
august two thousand eighteen
