Then, all voices chime in: "He's coming" he's coming" he's going" he's going--
" A shot rings out."
Mac Bird is president!
**
What do we do based on what we suspectbecause he had to be behind it! It had to be him! Robert is convinced! Evidence: Look at how he abuses power. No criticism "from within" is permitted. "He draws the line and all are forced to toe./ You're with him or against him, get that/ straight." Everyone's "safety" demands the "overthrow of Mac Bird!
In Richard III fashion, Mac Bird resorts to organizing a series of incidents to eliminate the remaining Ken O' Dunc brothers. In anticipation of Ted's demise in a mysterious plane crash, Robert receives a wreath. But Ted survives.
Robert, conversing with one of his enablers, notes that Mac Bird is bold. The enabler points Robert's attention to all the President's men: They are terrified of Mac Bird! They "fear his one-man rule, his arrogance;/His secret slaughters stink upon his hands." The country is calling for Bobby. Bobby, Bobby, Bobby!
Bobby is our savior! Bobby must win the Democratic nomination! Bobby is our man! Bobby, says one aide, "is the man who can unite/The tyrant's foes, though they be left or right." An open coup! Bobby can take out Mac Bird, bloodlessly!
In the end, Mac Bird, so overly confident in his victory, see it in full reign, already happening; and as such, he insist that nothing can stop him nownot the "peace paraders," "Beatniks," "Negroes," "Latin rebels," "Asian peasants" or complaining congressmen. Not even Robert Ken O' Dunc!
No matter how many monks set themselves ablazenow "I fear no foe with human heart." Even though the "liberal power" has thrown their might behind Robert. "The lords of Eastern Industry and Banks" are willing to be led by him. And joining the industry and the banks are the unions in the middle and Negro troops, "bringing up the rear."
And the tyrant! What about the tyrant!
Finally, Mac Bird and Robert Ken O' Dunc met. Mac Bird repeats to Robert's face what he's been telling his own enablers. Victory isn't for you, Robert Ken O' Dunc! "I have a charmed career./ Now be it known/No man with beating heart or human blood/Can ever harm Mac Bird or touch his throne."
End of narrative! Or so thinks Mac Bird. Robert is forced to make a reveal: Listen up, Mac Bird, the Ken O' Duncs are without hearts! "Prepare to hear the/worst."
At the birth of each son, our great patriarch, my father, "envisaged greatness" for each of us, his sons. To take over our roles among "world authority," "our pulpy human hearts were cut away"! Don't be alarmed! What, Mac Bird, seeker of power, did you expect? Without hearts, we powerful are destined to "rule" over other humans. It's what the heartless do, Mac Bird.
How could anyone think otherwise?
