Lines on Two Strongmen

 

I wrote this months ago suspecting that it would become timely at some point.  I wasn’t disappointed.

In the Footsteps of Duterte

In the footsteps of Duterte

Our leader wants to tread.

The Philippines

Will be his dream.

The bad guys all shot dead.

There’s no need for due process;

Vigilantes do it faster.

Who cares if all the lawyers think that this is a disaster?

 

In the footsteps of Duterte

Both leaders love to swear.

They brook no opposition,

So cross them if you dare.

One day they’re bashing China,

The next they’re making deals.

Don’t believe a thing you see;

Not much of this is real.
