Disgraceful Old Man

Old man is named for years gone by.  
In this era, health can receive support.  
The old man’s dull ears and eyes,  
And lost teeth can be rejuvenated. 

But an old man with feeble reasoning  
Confuses both allies and foes.  
Self-image as a historical king,  
Reviving territorial ambitions.   

Doctors cannot heal a wicked brain.  
Old age forgets what has been said.
Forget the motto: Make love great again   
Smith shopping is like playing the lottery.  

Old age covets the assets of others. 
Messes up Freedom and Dictatorship. 
Looks down at the other leaders. 
Followers who love you will depart.
