Movers and Shakers?

Our world seems such a busy place

With millions swarming in rat race

That though retired, I sense the strain:

Politics runs on tight rein!

 

A certain chap, I name no names,

A slew of tariffs now proclaims:

Unease leaks onto Internet;

Our fragile status quo is wrecked…

 

Trips across The Pond are fraught

Vespucci* tourists are distraught;

The wind of change kicks up a storm

Harbinger of a darker dawn …

 

It’s hellish hard to keep on track

As life moves on – no turning back…

In Rome – behold! A leader new

A chance for Virgin points of view?
