On a terrible, long-lasting dictator.

(There have been quite a few.)

"He was so evil
that I believe if he had been bitten
by a poisonous snake,
the snake would have died."

On the suicide of one of his
tens of thousands of prisoners:


'After yet another day of torture
he was dragged to his cell,
where he waited for his mother to go to sleep;
then he bit and chewed through his skin
and through the veins and artery,
to the bones of his right wrist.'

Before he died, not by suicide
but in a bloody coup, a dictator cried

"What have I ever done to you ?"
