There are people in the world who are special
For no reason at all
But they make a difference in the world
Some people are just there
Others are world leaders
Or about to become an important person
Peter Jennings was one of those people
Who grew up as the son of the Voice of Canada
Charles Jennings was a well known radio journalist
His son was one of those who was always around
People and got accustomed to being on hand
When things went wrong
He became one of the better known world Journalist.
A leader in a field that had only a few who could make it
Now there are so many journalist
And foreign correspondents
Most of whom he either trained
Or was used as an example
His best thing was getting into the politics
Unlike nowadays where they do interviews
He made his way through till the guy
Just wanted him to sit down and have supper
Then he would squawk at the live interview
But Peter always got his man
And eventually we the viewers
Got to know what was really going on in the world
We all grew to trust the young man
Who did nothing but cause problems for his own parents.
He also was a connoisseur of culture and arts
As an older man who did much for keeping
The life of the town alive
Unlike the newer generation
Who don't know what to do
Unless the celebrity can do something bizarre
Such as play the piano
Without hands or pants...
Then there are those such as Jacqueline
Who made a world of difference
To the world as the first lady
The press hated her and then could not get enough
Of her or her lifestyle
While there are a lot of heroes back at home
Who continue to pick up the kids on time
Or go to work no matter who is aiming
To shoot at them on the job
Thier used to be school teachers
Who were leaders and not followers
Or nurses who cared to at least make
Themselves look good instead
Of causing the doctors to look bad
Politicians ahve alot on thier plate
Some make it through
Only looking a little bit foolish
While others cant get anything right
Does not matter who handsome they are
Nor how much money they have
Or how intelligent or educated
It is the facts that go on around them
That lead others to believe that something is wrong
That and bad management
Now we have a former president
Up on possible charges of a criminal nature
While his vice president is not being pleasant
What went wrong that day?
No one told those idiots to enter
And take hostages in the Capital
Not even the President told them to use guns
But it endangered the Vice President
And his family who with him at the capital
Along with the entire Senate chamber
And the Speaker of the House
Who also had her grown daughter with her
It was a bad situation and people were killed
Just as those school shootings
Were former students are coming back
With guns and getting even with their teachers
Whom they disliked or disliked them
It is no longer a safe world out there
When one cant trust their own teacher
Not to steal or lie about you behind your back
Or the trusted elected politician
Cant get past the crew who appear
To like him but just want to cause mayhem.
Who is left in the world to trust or believe in?
World religious leaders?
Such as the Pope?
Or the Dalia Lama?
They don't have much of a life
The last Pope retired whether than end
Up being pushed around in a wheelchair
As his successor has done due to his pain level
The Dalai Lama lived in luxury
While he was raised as a child
Chosen to be a spiritual leader
Got to go to University and study
But also has to come up with peace plans
Was exiled due to the war
Between China as a communist country
And the others
While the Pope has to earn
His place through diligence
The Lama grows into his position.
Now he is 87 and checking out children
They must decide whom is likely
To be the chosen reincarnated one.
Not an easy job nor does it come
With a permanent place in life
As an exile he must move around
One must be from Mongolia
Or Tibet or China in order to qualify
Unlike the Pope or Patriarch
Who come from the Western world
With hard work as a novice
Until he is noticed for his leadership as a chosen one of god.
Who would want to be any of these guys?
They have the weight of the world on them
And they dont usually get to retire
Work til they drop is the motto
Most specail people are that way
One day they are there doing what they need
And the next they are dead from cancer
Or a plane crash or auto accident
No one knows who will be the next one
Unlike choosing a successor
Most of those individuals
Who set the world on fire
Simply arrive out of nowhere
This in no way describes jimmy
Who has never been charming nor a leader
Just a saboteur who wants his way
To the harm of others
Who just get in his way.
When are those school kids
Going to stop shooting things?
When are we going to feel safe again?
