‘I want that!’
‘I want it!’
Tiny fingers grabbing
idiotic ideas flying
peace is a process
ruined by a few
for so many.
Grinning like an asshole
making countries weep
alienating nations
and making oneself weak.
Raising middle fingers
double salute
telling friends to back off
snuggle close with broken regimes
a smile on one’s face.
Things will go wrong
(or right)
it depends on who one asks.
Temper tantrums will fly
petulant display
of stomping feet
wild cries
(crocodile tears)
to turn the mood back.
Wrest control now
while still able
for nothing is worse
than watching a grown man
act like he is three.
