All the hullaballoo always just to elect ONE man who inevitably falls short of expectations...

Villanelle: Who but Great Powers make World look like market place

Who but Great Powers make World look like market place
The crib courtyards of Russia China and US
Who reigns in the United States concerns all in space

Don’t tell the down-trodden rest they’re out of the race
Even sinking island states mightn’t hope for prowess
Who but Great Powers make World look like market place

Lebens raum’s an excuse for Conquistadores
Spices for regal banquets and stolen art pieces
Who reigns in the United States concerns all in space

A hundred years of wars deprive Man of grace
Leaders thrive on gullible populace nonetheless
Who but Great Powers make World look like market place

The more the whine the more the fish-market brag place
What counts the clout each Big Brother promises
Who reigns in the United States concerns all in space

What makes a nation great if not the populace
Can ANY man then replace what’s good in US
Who but Great Powers make World look like market place
Who reigns in the United States concerns all in space

Reviewed by Ronald Hull
Reviewed on August 31, 2020
Some very good points made spiced with repetition. Presidents used to come from poor beginnings growing up in log cabins on the wilderness. They came to Washington with values instilled from hard work and frontier requirements. But as time goes on, it's become all about money. The marketplace.

The rest of the world looks at the United States as a beacon of hope. Both for good government and for help with wealth management. But 100 years of war makes the United States week in its response to militarizing and protecting the business

Time to change the whole government by electing people for the people and not for the marketplace.

Ron
