Foolish Trump
God gave you
another hour of power.
An hour
to prove wisdom.
But power without wisdom
breaks the hand that holds it.
Donald Trump,
history is watching.
The people of
United States
chose you
to guard their house—
not to set the world on fire.
A nation desired peace.
You promised it.
“America first,”
you said.
Yet wars do not feed a nation.
They drain its future.
Leadership without wisdom
is a storm
that ruins its own harbor.
What is this war for?
What threat stood before you
from Iran
that demanded fire?
Power carries responsibility.
Rulers forget this
when applause grows loud.
Riches may buy influence.
They cannot purchase wisdom.
A ruler who listens
only to allies
forgets the voice
of his own people.
And a people betrayed
do not forget.
History records
not the noise of power—
but the consequences.
Remember this:
The strength of a nation
is not measured
by the wars it begins,
but by the peace
it preserves.
And when leaders forget
the limits of power,
time reminds them.
