My Ode To Benito Mussolini

Mussolini saved Italy
from a possible Nazi conquest,
he saw an alliance with Germany
as an opportunity to avoid
another horrible Holocaust!

This truth was never told
for fear that the Italian people
would have declared 
Il Duce the savior of Italy;
wasn't his decision the smartest
choice he had ever made?

Although Mussolini invaded
many countries, he also
did good deeds; women were
fascinated by his charm,
my mom was one of them...
he was the perfect image
of masculinity and also
of obstentious vanity!

Sadly, Mussolini was hanged
upside down in that Milan's public
square; the Americans wanted
him alive, but his voice
was forever silenced by 
the revengeful partisans!

Italy never gave him
the credit and the honor
he deserved, but he was
spat on, kicked and 
by a vicious crowd!

I am honoring Benito Mussolini
with my ode for his great
leadership despite his errors;
may History remember him
not as a traitor, but as a savior
and a citizen who loved his country!
