Podium Man
There once was a podium man.
Who gave to the world all he can.
He broadcast his message,
A dismal sad presage,
An excuse to push through his plan.
On point, there he stood smiling bright.
As he lied through his teeth, pearly white.
With showmanship air,
He feigned how he cared
For his countryman's desperate plight.
A leader of such strength was he;
Incorruptible, honest, and free.
Was showered in praise
All through ruling days
While his rivals were crushed secretly.
He lives in all ages of time.
Deceiver of men, he is prime.
If you feel disgusted,
By a man you once trusted.
Be sure he is known for his crime.
