Persuade
All the secrets of the world were his.
He said so repeatedly. And his
opponents in debate felt the disdain
he had for them as he spoke over
them and interrupted, and like
a grand inquisitor questioned
them without mercy. Making
them feel foolish with his
claptrap, though they knew the
errors of his arguments. His
bullying ways betrayed the
weakness of his thought.
And his ingratitude the
smallness of his character.
The intellectual battle may
have been won, but the
battle for his soul was
on full display.
