Jair Bolsonaro

Amidst the storm of public unrest, Bolsonaro took charge in Brazil's nest, The race for president was questioned with zeal, But Bolsonaro won, his opponents left to reel. The world was watching, hopeful in wait, For a leader who'd bring change, hope and fate, But as the years passed by, it became clear, This president was not the one, it was all a veneer. Ignoring science, dismissing experts, He touted lies that were by vested interests, His stance on COVID was met with disdain, Yet he led a motorbike rally, with thousands of brainwashed beings. As the world suffered, as death tolls grew high, He chose to play politics and let people die, Instead of taking action, he traveled to and fro, From Florida to Brazil, with no real sense to show. Allegations of property acquisition followed suit, Contradictory to ethics, with more than a moot, For a sum rather small, compared to what it cost, To neglect COVID, Brazil's economy had been lost. Entrance to his home was made, to look for proof, Of false jab cards, amidst his group that were aloof, The world looked on, wondering how this could be, As Bolsonaro remained, a failed presidency. In times that test a nation's might, It's a leader's job to guide, to stay upright, But as Brazil stumbled, Bolsonaro fell, Leaving a legacy of shame, for all to tell.
