Someone of Greater Fame

It will take someone more heady than I
Than a two-bit, wanna-be poet
Who nary an American listens to
It will take someone more heady than I
To navigate us through

Democracy has a hinge
Called Election 2024
A dictator runs for office
Need I tell you more?

So, there's this Time magazine article
It speaks louder and more convincing
If it's who you're listening to that bothers you
-- and that is what I'm sensing --

Then open the pages of Time magazine
The writer will say all the same
And you can do your listening
To someone of greater fame
