In times of difficulty,
Many reveal themselves,
The true nature is made known,
And put on display for all to see;

But in peace times,
You can make all talk,
Beat your chest at rivals,
Project an image of invincibility;

Then comes a damning curve,
Like the one a pandemic draws,
Showing weakness of inept proportions,
Struggling to make sense of it all;

You see a truly great nation,
Able to export good and evil,
Keeping its core untouched,
Turning tables at every turn;

If humanity makes it,
Albeit battered and bruised,
The ranking of nations will be revised,
To show, now, the true world power.
Countries like Nigeria aren't on this table.
It's the Communists and Capitalists.
Where the Capitalists have gone on to perpetuate a mighty image over the century,  the Communists have arrived and in a mightier fashion.
Nothing has exposed the Capitalists like the COVID-19 pandemic and sent them scampering in all directions.
The Communists alleged to have sponsored a state sanctioned biological warfare that didn't spread to their capital city, simply reached in to their well stocked arsenal and whipped out enough to deal the disease or infection decisive blow.
Now the Communists are offering aid in human or material resources to their biggest rivals, the Capitalists.
