good guy bad guy

Kingdoms come and kingdoms go.
Visions of Grandeur.
Alexander tried it.
He died at thirty five.
Where is Hitler’s grave.
The Old Crocodile
Has gone.
He made it to Ninety.
Where is his resting place.
He didn’t want any one
To know.
His wife won’t tell.
There always seems to be
Someone who will
Tell everyone else what to do.

In case you didn’t know
The Old Crocodile
Lived in South Africa
And made himself King.
Make that President.
Pieter Willem Botha
One time nobody.
Was he a racist.
Did he tell the blacks
And the coloured
Where to stay.
Where might he have
Gotten the idea
That some human animals
Are not equal.

How many times
Has the nobody
Become the big star
Of the day.
M Begin sat in the gulag
And in Israel his home
He was an outlaw terrorist
But he took over from
Ben-Gurion and Golda
Mandela sat in jail
For how many years
In his own home land.
And
Look who he is Now

So I wonder who’s the next bad guy.
