Stand Up To Stutter

We have chosen a leader who stutters too many only saw his speaking flaw. Stumbling over stiff words as he utters blurring his momentous messages of awe. Accepting duty makes us who we are so speak out only for what you believe. Mounting the tall peaks so as to reach far in service of others then you achieve. Some search all around and find the other so be careful and watch who you eschew. Greeting each one as sister and brother trust in yourself to do what you must do. We wanted values which would help the weak fill haunting hopes we all so dearly seek. Tribute to Joseph R. Biden elected President USA in 2020. He overcame stuttering and promotes virtue and empathy.

I really enjoyed your engrossing sonnet Greg but our second line sums up for me everything that is wrong with todays society. ie judging a book by its cover and taking things and people at face value without investing time in understanding what they are about. People are too easily swayed by others; they should stay true to themselves. Your poem has certainly stirred my emotions and that has to be a good thing. Cheers - Gary
