The opposite view

 Unipolar power is like being the bride
and resent the uppity of bridesmaids 
she wanted her wedding to be remembered 
no one can equal
Her democracy is the bride that has
become domineering and  not let in
the bridesmaid
Not even getting married if she thought her
the rule was somewhat diminished
Her attitude causes friction; others wanted 
 to leave to go find their own happiness 
This includes Miss Russia who was 
a downtrodden maid, much patronized, made
the fun of and dismissed.
Surprised, we were when out of the shadows
grew  and demanded an equal place on the in 
the beauty contest, where women in cowboy
hat ruled 
but the domineering woman had to grow and
the woman in the cowboy hat
knew Miss Russia had to be subdued rapidly
and set out to ruin her reputation to preserve
her hegemon, she said, was a gift from God 
the white deity who loves Miss America 
The people at the wedding 
a subdued, Miss Russia would be allowed 
to exit as a junior partner if she helped to catch 
miss China, whose beauty was fabulous
not seen for two thousand years   
The woman in the cowboy hat could once more
be the belle of the ball
