Drawing about inequality: the first world wants to 'eat' four globes, the third world only has one, and wants to take one more. But the first world says: no, those are mine.

Drawing about leadership: the leader (in this case Feike Sijbesma) is dancing, and people say: 'he is crazy but I will follow him anyway'
