Leaders and Statesman

Manuel Lopez Obrador, and Jaier Bolsonaro'

You stand out, uniquely, from the political herd
Lickspittles by choice, and from others deffered.'
Others who louse-like cluster and croon
Who mutter in pryoxams, in the fidget of doom 
In spasms in contortions, in Masks of despair
Speilers and screamers from iniquity concurred 
Scwabing the poop-deck of a ruinous scow
Leaders so lost; are now wallowing as sows,
In a mire in amaze, I see no good; from them
No way; and no-how.'

It's strange to write such Andrea, in the face of what we Know politicians can be like I know Bolsonaro was threatened and more by the who For standing against the cov-con19 and Obrador has advised the US to break up the Statue of liberty regarding their Persecution of Julian Asange So that speaks of better.'
