Oval Office

Oval Office

They try so hard
To sit in that
Lonely room
On his desk
Harry Truman
Had a placard
The buck stops here
He made the decision
Second guessed
To drop the bomb
The big one
Not just one
But two
Crime against humanity
Enola Gay
Mother of all mothers
An era of atrocities
The weight of the world
America’s Atlas
Uneasy lies the head
That wears a crown
Fate of the nation
Unbearable gravity
For President Biden
A week from hell
Ending the longest war
Taking heat
For a tragic exit
So many left behind
Fate in the hands of
Merciless fanatics
Medieval sharia law
Hurricane Ida
Slamming the Gulf
This time though
The levees held
Covid on the rise
The great unmasked
Anti-vaxers
On a rampage
A nation divided
Never more so
In our century
Time for just plain Joe
To keep it together
More than likely
Much worse
Before it gets better
