on gloryfying the individual

every time
you feel an
exciting neurotic state of awe
for an individual
who you think
has accomplished the world
is the leader of leaders
is to be worshipped
is what one should strive for
is irreplaceable, unreplicable ---
think of the so many millions
who have come before that individual
so called "ruled over the world"
so called "conquered all"
so called "captured the market"
so called "enraptured millions of hearts"
and fallen.

the individual isn't important.
nobody really mattered or will ever.
