45

is not yet an archive

still politically alive

still trying to contrive

still trying to connive

still trying to thrive

still trying to deprive:

is a mix

of courage and civility

of fragility and virility

of pliability and agility

of ability and stability:

of compassion and humility:

America’s and the world’s best hope.
