The Enigma

Hitler was an enigma,

Dali knew it,

he could sense it

even in the nonsense of his dreams

he knew Maldordor was malodorous.

Yes, Hitler was an enigma,

such a master of communication,

but Dali knew that his communication

would be as broken as his old black phone,

no more likely to function than an umbrella is

to change into a bat and fly away when the end came.

But that was then and now Dali is dead,

perhaps more dead than Hitler,

who seems again an enigma,

a still unbroken influencer 

of malodorous malevolence

in the era of mobile phones 

and the reality of fake news

breeding New Pretenders to the crown

he left seemingly broken beyond repair.

So many now ready to pick up the pieces 

and put them together to fly

with no umbrella for protection

in the perpetual rain of the present

which spells the death of dreams.
