Trusting a New Pm

There's a mountain to climb that’s for sure,
to get from this state of being poor.
Will our country still bleed
as we follow the lead
of a man who’s not done this before?



for Carolyn Devonshire's 'Follower or Leader' contest.

Yes, I agree with LeeAnn, this could also stand for our current parliament in Germany!!! Only dilettants and sometimes I believe that we would do better without having a parliament at all!!! Well written and observed, Sharon!!! And thanks for commenting "No Beer but Whisky". Have a nice day..:)...Gert

Question I think people all over the world are asking as many of the leaders don't seem to have a clue on how to lead. Interesting thoughts to ponder. Best wishes in the contest. Karen

Good one, Sharon, a bit more "bite" to it than mine. It is really hard for me to do political humor. So I did not get any brownie points on mine. hahaha. You have great "beat" too. Luv, Andrea
