Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
A head too big for his neck
Major of the Minority by Mike Stevens

Hoovering both junk food and attention,
The king of the world in his own mind
prepares for battles only he can dream
 
Imaginary foes wage war while he'll rage
Fancies himself Napoleon, saber raised high,
charges into battle from his easy chair
 
Leads from behind, “onward, men!”
Other men fear weapons, he fears thoughts
Perception is everything,
reputation’s all,
reality is what he says it is
 
Surrounded by farm-animals,
cannon-fodder of the daily war
Expendable, renewable, irrelevant pieces,
An inexhaustible supply,
born to serve him
 
From his ivory castle he dictates reality,
an all-powerful king loathed by the majority
