Night of Tragedy

The incentive to write the following verses came from my thoughts at the moment the 'president' addressed the country about the tragedy that took place over DC. The night many witnessed a collision over Washington, DC A terrible fate and loss of lives. It could've been you or me. "Acceptable" the description of traffic control at that hour Then, "not normal" twas said of those manning the tower. In a burst of flames, Blackhawk and AA fell into the river A national tragedy witnessed that caused many to shiver. Sixty-seven in the cold Potomac... what a horrific way to die Left behind, their family and friends, many tears they'd cry. Except for one... While tears flowed in hours of mourning, The President's heartless speech, I found worthy of scorning. He read words without emotion, no compassion in his droll voice A Republican elephant, more like an a.s.s. ~ the people's choice. He made it worse by pointing a crooked finger, narcissist fool, blaming Dems for the crash. Greed and power make him drool. A President without a heart cannot display grief and empathy. What kind of man is totally void of showing an ounce of sympathy?
