The Mystery of a  Leader

April brings a shower of questions
Why a leader is prone to hatred?
Comes May for the best solutions:
To the country's love, and not greed.

From the South emerged a leader
Whose mission was simply to change
The scene from the top to down under.
The idea is to rearrange.

To place a high premium on drug
Nip the leader and the user
But this isn't the reason to brag
Just doing what's really proper.

He is bold and that is not bad
Yet the high and the mighty loathe him
And this really is very sad
For he is allegedly condemned.

A plan was mulled for the communist
That wrought havoc on the country
He is on the go and it's a test
The paradigm of change comes in handy.

Are we, not all born with an option
To find the version that helps us most?
Then go straight in that direction
And somehow we'll never be lost.

U.P. displayed the Oblation
An inspiration to build, build, build.
A legacy of his obsession
To move forward and never yield.

The search leads to a remote place
To the guarded NPA's lair.
A gallant Group  formed a solid base
And penetrated them unaware.

The Palace now gladly welcomes them
By offerings to their need and want
And really they have nothing to blame
But to their out-of-state commandant.

Aware of the dire happening
The members unearthed the secret
That their armed struggles had no bearing
At long last back home with sweet regret.

This is the tale of a great leader
Marching onward with intricacy:
The defining moment of a soldier
Unfading into reality.

(Note) The Philippines is a Paradise and a blessed country, bridged together by serene and tempestuous seas from all directions. However, it is buttressed with love, hospitality, religion, and education. But it is also subjected to calamities that are man-made and inevitably natural. 

The country's strategic geo-aquatic location is also within the borders of the powerful nations of Europe and the East plying their trades and commerce along the sea and air. As an independent and democratic country, it is friendly to its neighbors, especially since it gained an independent open foreign policy.

This bold and unique leader is going to end his six years of astounding leadership. The poem is humbly dedicated to him - The President, Mayor Rodrigo Roa Duterte.
