Ode to the Free World & its Leaders

                                                                Its Leaders

 

They fight wars thousands of miles from their shores

and expect us to willingly applause

They have great wealth but need allies

with begging bowls many queue in the aisles

They have vast stocks of nuclear warheads,

and threaten who they please

expecting the whole world to smile and say cheese

They pollute our atmosphere more than most

then tell us that Global Warming is nowhere near close

They police the world with Justice, Peace and Freedom

and then murder millions to the maximum

 

Hail to the Chiefs

◄ The Natural World

The Sea will part ►

Great commentary Keith. Nothing but thugs and weak fearful "strongmen" these days, giving each other pats on their backs. It's the everyday folks like you and I that ultimately pay the price.

I love your last statement in bold. Wonderful poem and statement here Keith. I also love the line about expecting the whole world to smile and say cheese
Well said
