Defining life

01   This self-absorbed
02   and dispossessed
03   communion of
04   me
05   ga
06   lo
07   ma
08   ni
09   acs
10   with cameras poised
11   like bayonets
12   to placidly
13   impale themselves
14   Do so, but do so nonetheless,
15   and thus die happy in the end.

Yeah, breaking up "megalomaniacs" doesn't seem that useful and
the word itself is too much of a pronouncement. The content should
convey this without the need for this conclusion.

Title - too literal -- use the essence of 2, 3, 12, and 13 to create a title
1 unnecessary
2-3 love the cognitive dissonance
4-9  unnecessary (see above)
10-11 a bit too cliched, but should be rephrased and kept as a lead-in to 12-13
12-13 wonderful, this and 2-3 are the heart of the poem
14 illogical and unnecessary
15 no need for this summation 12-13 have already done its work
