I totally agree with your poem. He is trying too hard to finish something that his father started instead of being his own man. He's making a mockery of the presidency really..well that's just my opinion but your poem is awesome...thanks' for sharing.

A very crucial role of both poem and poet is to question the wrongs and ills of the World.
The fact that you picked on the thief who stole the elections, stained the constitution, cheated his people
and wages war and havoc on scores of innocents
with a string of insinuations,accusations,manipulations..
what you have done is important, it is necessary!.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
