SOS (Not The ABBA Song)
The answer is, that it didn’t for Stalin himself who died in paranoid fear of life itself being taken from him by others who followed in his footsteps.

Maybe that’s a high price, that dictators all inherently have.
The constant fear with a high chance, of getting killed.
Life’s great, but miserable at the same time.
History judges them, even thinking the murder was good.
As individuals, more than ever we record ourselves.
Whatever the self is, our lives could live forever.
Yet how much is lost, your lost email and lost photos.
Despite all the recordings, slowly you disappear.
Even the dictators, become history’s footnotes.
He invaded Poland with Germany, but he was on our side.
Killed people in ridiculous numbers, with crazy decisions.
Somehow he got lucky, with an ordinary mans death.
I feel very privileged, to live an ordinary life.
That I don’t need bodyguards, or bulletproof cars.
People managing, every part of my day.
Dare not be the dictator, making mistakes and paranoid.
An ordinary mans death, sounds like a best outcome.

What is the self, what is our ego.
You are born with it, it’s all about you.
The toddler, not comprehending sharing.
The decisions you make, in self interest.
You can’t escape yourself, you can’t escape ego.
If the ego exists, then it controls your decisions.
It will protect itself, not harm itself.
It will care about itself, not considered is others.
The world is full, of human ego.
The best house and best car, the fancy watch and clothes.
We get the extremes, Tate thinks with his ego.
The arguments can be good, but it’s all about him.
The influencer or podcaster, it’s all about them.
The ego insatiable, there is no limits to ones ego.
The children watch, they see what humans call success.
With no ego, only then can you trust a decision.

It seems war has arrived, it was inevitable.
I fear the repercussions, it’s not a fair war.
What looks like wins, become big loses.
Human rights get ignored, when it’s war.
I hear talk of genocide, expelling a population.
Bombing them from existing, Palestinians will not exist.
Was that not the plan, all along that’s the intent.
That’s why there was no solutions, no peace.
Who do you save, if both think God is picking sides.
Is God supporting the oppressed, or the oppressor.
Is God supporting the aggressor, or the defender.
God may destroy both, if both are on the wrong side.
All the failed peace talks, all the decisions are human.
