The Kind of Leader We Need?

Trump and Rubio are really going at it

Like two childish brats,

Belittling each other with personal attacks,

Which makes us wonder if that's

 

The kind of behavior that we would expect

From the leader of this nation.

Whatever else they have to offer

Gives little consolation.

 

Watching them criticize each other

Could almost be funny if not

For the fact that both are vying for

A high position, or spot.

 

How much more embarrassing

Will this campaign get?

The thought that either could be president

Makes me break out in a sweat.

 

We'd like to think our president would

In all practicality

Behave in a grown-up manner reflecting

A mature adult mentality.
