Martin Luther King, Jr.
  a leader, a statesman
a preacher, an inspiration

Robert F. Kennedy
  boyish, vulnerable
beloved, fiercely capable

Ponder a moment, will you? ~
  How great America might be
Had she blended the words
  and the works of these two...

A man who is
Afraid of his own words,
In his eyes, nothing but
The timidity of a rat;
Without guards and
Bulletproof motorcades,
A wasteful wife;
He would pee in his pants:
Crazy he cowered us with violence,
Wasted our lives;
Finger on cheek,
Like a thoughtful statesman,
What a farce!

Rhythm of the Sand Pine

Lazily waving in the brisk morning air;
Tranquility of a sylvan setting so strikingly rare.
Flailing her arms like the great timberland bear;
This venerable statesman which none can compare.

A mighty conifer standing in the woodland foursquare,
As mysterious and perplexing as the elusive sea hare.
Ancestral descendants of ancient forebears,
Standing at arms, trespassers beware.

O’ statesman wrinkled so frail,
Young child sad soul so bitter,
Later a senior prom,
Marriage child later on,
 raising a family strong.
Labor force workings hours long,
 right to work state isn’t believing.
Elderly now mind a haze,
This world system in a blaze.
Rooted in flesh buried there!
Graves not receiving my spirit.

Joseph Robinette Biden
for years he's been quite a statesman
as senator then as vice-president,
now POTUS he thinks himself prescient. 

He is our own President Biden,
when his lips move you know he is lyin',
he thinks we don't see
he's mad as can be~
no joke, this country is dyin'.

The Big Guy will jail his number one rival
to ensure his own political survival.
He is without moral integrity,
which way the wind blows there he will be!

Soars beating is my heart 
as it flex it's muscle so in part
 it's flat Like an Eagle abreast
 breath hovering over its nest
Elder Statesman and women sleep depressed
Nonchalantly inadvertently not aware
 that they are blessed
Like the Rhythm Section in the rhythm and blues band 
play on beat the drums rhythmatically
Soar beatings of the heart
Percussion rivets beats in my heart

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.'...

A dignified statesman, 
A deified ‘Godman,’
A glorified star (of films or sports)
All tumble—
After a Starr report 
Or an HIV test 
Or a dope test.
Or maybe a Watergate 
Or a Coalgate. 
Media reports or media hype?
Whistle blowers
On whistle blowers—ad infinitum. 
God and my God are antithetical?
Is rape the norm—
Where Rama and Sita are worshipped?
Whatever your belief,
Call it Postmodern Era 
Or Kali Yuga
Or what you will, 
Will entropy be the norm?
—	Ram., R. V....
