TACO
Leopards never change their spots
It’s true
No matter where or who
Genetically determined, lasting, eternal
It’s natural, it’s normal
Huge egos and delusions
Rosettes on their skin…illusions
Huge personalities
The alphas and omegas
It’s beginning to sound like MAGAs
It’s dangerous and hostile in this jungle
You’ll hear them scream and mumble
The greatest cats in the world
Don’t believe what you are being told
No other animal is welcome in these trees
They’ll break you down, on your knees
Their mind is stale, bigoted
It rots
Leopards never change their spots
