At Paradise - Hopefully....Cleaning-Up.....His Reprehensible Act Poem by James B. Earley

....'Tis the prevalent....view
It's not within you....
In the Oval Office you don't spiritually belong
....All things consequential
It's inherently essential....
That you prove...your varied naysayers...all wrong

Answering questions with truth
Sans accompanying abuse
....Clean-up.....your reprehensible act
Grasping the opportunity
Bond with the community....
No fabrications.....nor twisting...of fact

....Do a flyover Mr President
Make an assessment....
Appreciating...the heartaches...they've known
...Once on the ground
Spread that aura around....
.....Leaving the echo.....of your ego...at home

Know...you ain't preaching to the choir
Little of you they admire
.....Therefore....earning...their ultimate respect
Requires abandoning your high horse
It's about charting a new course....
Allow that resonance of humility project

....Alter...."their prevailing....view
That it critically ain't within you
.....In the Oval Office you don't fundamentally belong"
Since all things consequential
.....It's inherently essential
To prove...your voluminous naysayers....all wrong
*
*
Where you go to from here
Quite frankly it appears....
Within the message your mannerisms convey
....Going forward it seems
Your most aspirant of dreams...
Will reflect....on your visit....here "today"

....In grasping this opportunity
Bonding with the community....
No fabrications.....nor twisting...of fact
Answering questions with truth
Sans accompanying abuse
....Hopefully...cleaning-up.....your reprehensible act
