Dissing the President
What is gained by dissing the president?
Whose role is beyond your understanding
Since you know so little of the broad picture
Or, comprehend the crises he is handling.
Why do we blame any sitting president
For situations that are beyond his control
While guiding the enormous ship of state
Isn’t national security his ultimate goal?
How shameful to spread misconceptions
And make slanderous, personal remarks
Against our most important public servant
Just, I suppose, to set off some sparks.
Why try to destroy the public confidence
Questioning President Biden’s mental acuity,
Because he makes an understandable gaffe
Before banks of cameras on public TV?
Do you think you could do a better job?
Could you successfully steer the ship?
I wish we had known of your keen acumen
Perhaps, now, it is time you button your lip!
