'A Letter To The President' Poem by Linda Winchell

Dear Mr. President Elect
I am sending you this letter today.
While I know you've not won the election yet
but there are somethings I just wanted to ask and say.

Are you ready for the messy house?
that the other President has left?
Are you going to find the bed you sleep in
lumpy and now can't seem to rest?

Are you going to find a solution?
to this energy crisis our world is in?
Are you going to stop all the wars and hatred?
And maybe put a stop to this killing sin?

Are you really who you say you are?
for our American people and myself now trust?
Or were you just telling us what we wanted to hear?
And are our bubbles now going to bust?

What are your true feelings?
About abortion and stem cell science?
And are the gay people just wanting to marry?
out of some Civil rights defiance?

You know you'll have a job to do
cleaning up your house.
I wish that I could watch from a corner
like some little unseen house mouse.

But since I can't I just wanted you to know
that I am praying for your success.
And even if you don't carry out what you've claimed
I am sending you my prayers for all the best!

Your's Truly; An American Citizen
