Fools will say he deserves his fate
Mistaking either deserve or fate or both

The rain came down in sheets
Gusts interrupting visibility

The way it was is the way it should be
The capacity for willing belief in falsehood

The voice of The Commander commanding
Heed not the commands of the Commander

His blunting resolve
His veiled compelled concession

Dread supplanting the fuel of anger
Fire drowned in gusting rain
