Two Leaders

He came from the United States and they met in Vatican City What one man seemly equates another man can only find pity And as these two powerful men met in sitting side by side Such actions should not be let and so it is on you too abide This was not said in public space nor was it Pope Francis who so said But in the sanctity of God's Grace it was the Pope's actions that led As His inner core would meet and to the President they would express Shaking their hands to greet I can only guess He expected nothing less And so they stated their case as I'm sure I needn't state back to you But from within His face I felt that He could sense that this was true In knowing all along he would set it aside for this is not His view Yet as hard as He has tried it's so hard to fight against what is true And so back our President came in reality to shepherd this land But everything seems the same I guess He didn't understand But at least these words were spoken and something was said Yet if in this, one can not be awoken it is for that soul that I dread

Vincent, I am afraid I don't know what this poem refers to. I am not up with the news very much. Is it something very recent that happened at the Vatican? Soupmail me what it is about, would you?
