Two Men
The eyes of the world are upon two men today~~
One continues his assault upon a sovereign nation
The other travels to shore up peaceful alliances
One isolates himself, knowing his life is in danger
The other visits a town where people are suffering
One’s poll ratings are very high as thousands perish
The other’s polls lag as he deals with enormous issues
While juggling tremendous problems not of his making
One consorts with oligarchs to increase his great wealth
The other works for meager salary considering his task
One will remain in power by manipulating an election
The other will stay or go, as the people make a choice
If I have a choice to live under Joe Biden or Vladimir Putin
I choose to live under Joe Biden, any day, no disputin’.
