A Plea to Our New President
Forget your worst threats
but keep your best promises.
Learn humility as well
as you’ve mastered pride.
If you hope to act presidential,
remember –
listening is the actor’s essential
art.
Look at something besides size
and everything beyond color
when measuring a man
or a woman.
Treat all children
as if they were your own
and all adults
as if they could be you
or your fallen brother.
