An ex-President who's no longer alive but I felt compelled to write this
You rattle dry bones with your heart Spit on babies who crap at your doorstep I take your specs Wipe them clean for you to see better Men and women are not golf-balls Why are the roads so rocky with their calluses? Stop kicking pregnant babies with your knees Your smile is crooked Demonstrate substantial evidence of body snatching You say, �My dear, it�s natural for my people to Annihilate the rich with threats, I�m too frail to control circumstances� You gather a gang behind closed doors Being in exile leaves your stockings stuffed with vital organs You say in a soft tone, �they�re donors who sacrificed in the name of peace� A satellite-dish informs you of Haiti Actualite Batch of executions unleash a grin Their folkloric details make you the star You collect ulcers to bond with ex-Presidents Initiate services to the public in French The Presidential suite endangers sensitivity You play dead in a tan suit Spectators know you will come back soon Laryngitis is curable with drops of craftiness �2007 by C. Delaleu

My first thought when reading this was how many men it could fit. Too often after any public office (or dies) is left the person is remembered kindly, and the things which were so important once fade from memories. You have made a powerful statement in this piece and one that needs to be remembered.
