INHERITANCE
Hitler wanted to be Napoleon,
who wanted to be Caesar,
who wanted to be Alexander,
who wanted to be Cyrus,
who thought he ruled the world.
History is filled
with those who wished to control her
to master her
to be remembered as her favorite.
All the lands are made
of those who wanted to fill them
to conquer
to be the best thing
since the last best thing.
Greatness is built on those who came before
so Hitler learned
and Napoleon
and so on.
Greatness is built on the past
and the past is made from dust
and dust
comes from bone.
