About The True Leader Of The World Poem by Gert Strydom

'Without faith it is impossible to
please God, for whoever comes to
Him must believe that He exists
and that he rewards those who
diligently search for Him.'
Hebrews 11: 6

With a video as if he is a super-hero and demigod,
an American, do trading cards of himself sell,
to make money as if countrymen is under his spell
and much more than this very odd:

another shake hands with no one, laughs and nod,
do constantly openly the greatest lies tell,
that he is not all that clever the world knows well,
as both in opposite ways governs roughshod:

the one embodies America the great,
says that he will come to power in a while,

the other is feeble even in his stumbling gait,
knows how to shake hands and smile.

In the hearts of men You know how they do truth misconstrue:
the only true and benevolent leader is You.

In the east in Wuhan at a insecure laboratory
as a weapon a leader do a pestilence make,
in a country where almost all do You forsake
and with this COVID thing infects all humanity.

Further north another plots with his military:
invades and tries all of Ukraine to take,
ultra-nationalists say he can all of Europe his make;
as if no man can from his despotism be free,

the one with zero-COVID leaves to people no escape:
without food in cities locks people in,

while the military forces of the other rob, plunder and rape,
and futile in Ukraine he thinks he is going to win.

Sadness, injustice and tears You do witness and comprehend.
Gladness, justice, freedom from fears You bring without end.
