Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
World leaders should be inclusive, not divisive.

Corrupted Power

by Terry Reilly

Wilful hatred of foreigners spawns
 
Xenophobic venomous rants.
 
You shame your Office by abusing the vulnerable.
 
Zealotry, intolerance and prejudice corrode the soul.
 
Enlightened leaders welcome and embrace those who seek protection from racist, religious and gender-based persecution.

Pays one point and 2 member cents.
