Notes About The Poem

When I was writing  I was thinking of men with high offices  namely  Barack Obama.

Power and Prestige

I am often asked "what makes me tick?"
I reply, KNOW THIS.
I AM  the composer of my composure

I am the man in demand
I have sat many days in the dark listening
To the pouring rain 
I am a mover and a shaker
Thinking of the BLOOD that THUNDERS through my veins

The consumer of contemplation
I am the complete competition
Withstanding any objection 
I relish the court

I often exceed outstanding obvious excellent obligations
In truth, I blink with careful thought and precision
I choose my fights and foes with such
When my fuse is lit......

I need nothing.......
But the best of the best in their profession 
Ceaselessly  surrounding me 
SUCCESSFULLY PERCEPTIVE

I  FOCUS
