He Represents Their Ideal

I would say the other one.
Not 'that' one.
But the older one.
He has the more experienced presence.

'Why do you say that? '

He is inconsistent.
Clearly irrational.
Bares the scars from being abused!
Mentally imprisoned in a time warp.
And the look of being crazed!
He represents their ideal.

'I hadn't thought about that!
Perhaps that is the reason,
The race is a close one! '
