The leader that has found himself in war.

The leader that is working on resolving it but does not know how to resolve it. He is a leader of the times, and sometimes hope can be hard to marshall.

He is trying to stop it. He wants peace. For his homeland to be restored, but peace is not coming, not now and not for a while. He did not sign up for this, but he has become it.

He wants this to end. He wants cooperation. He wants help, but he does not get all that he needs.

A bit crippled in their ability to fight, and he is trying. He has aged and is no longer the comedian. He has now found himself as the poet.
