I used to think that all our world leaders possessed some common sense
Most of them fit into this category but a few of them are just dense
I pictured them as sane and intelligent and that’s how they attained their position
Now I come to the realization that you don’t have to have all your faculties to become a politician
You don’t really need to be a genius to enter a political race
Hell, you can be a complete imbecile and still occupy this space
The more news I watch the more evident it has become
I like to think most of them are astute but some are just plain dumb
I still get confused when their antics are on full display
Then all the members of their party let them continue on this way
Ignoring all the things they do and just avoid the press
If they run into a reporter, they ignore the questions they address
This is so prolific in the American political campaign
It rears its ugly head time and time again
With only two parties to compete, it comes to either or
Maybe there wouldn’t be so much hostility if they could squeeze in one more
It’s starting to get ugly on the Canadian side as well
Even with more parties, some bickering is starting to gel
With a minority government you have to work together as a whole
You have to be somewhat hospitable to achieve your final goal
This way you can get some bills passed if two groups can agree
You have to be more civilized when you have “Conservatives”, “Liberals” and “NDP”
Now when the day comes and a majority government ends up being formed
There could be a major difference in the way things are performed
Canadians and Americans regimes have had their troubles but things could be worse
We could all be living in Russia with “Putin” setting our course
This man has ruled two decades and sees no end to his reign
Then takes it upon himself to invade “Ukraine”
In his head he wishes it to be the “USSR” like it was before
He has slowly tried to reacquire it while not admitting it’s a war
He figured it would take less than a week to get this latest region back
He kept his whole nation out of the loop when he issued his attack
What he thought would take a few days just isn’t going right
He is now in his second month and “Ukraine” is putting up a fight
“Russia” has destroyed major cities and now are losing ground
“Zelenskyy” and his country are requesting aid from nations all around
How can the “Kremlin” let this egomaniac continue with his wrath?
Can’t anyone stop him from continuing on this path?
Is he just allowed to persevere in this annihilation?
There has to be a protocol to protect each and every nation
The more I watch all governments, the more I see them losing control
Backing up their leader’s insanity seems to be their primary role
“Republicans” still are pushing the “Big Lie” that “Trump” won the Presidential race
The events that are being exposed during his term are a total disgrace
This party seems to be ready to put him back in his seat
If you want to run as “President” , “Trump” is still the man you have to defeat
Thank goodness “Biden” is leader during this “Russian” attack
If “Donald” was still there, “Putin” would have his back
Sanctions are the way the world is going and Russia’s economy is starting to tumble
All because Putin’s foolproof plan is beginning to stumble
“Zelenskyy’s ” sane leadership is being recognized worldwide
He has all the nations backing him and are on his side
Still Russia seems to be sticking with their plan
Our goal is to protect Ukraine and put a stop to this man
So if you think this could only happen over there
Give your head a shake, it could happen anywhere
New evidence of Trump’s misuse of power is being exposed every day
Not sure if the day will come when he finally has to pay
All our concern should be for this Ukraine nation
Each of us should strive to help them without any hesitation
So many lives have been lost to a dictator who has no one to answer to
Sitting back and let him continue is what we choose to do
Putin is looking to China to aid him in his movement
Ukraine and their allies have shown some steady improvement
There has to be a way of stopping all this carnage, but how?
We are in need of a world leader and the time is now
A person who has the attributes of intelligence and tact is a must
The highest priority would be finding a person everyone can trust
