+ 1ST POEMS: What I Have Been Given To Write This Morning

[after joy's poem, "Silence And Martin"]


With malice toward none, with charity for all . . .

thus, our nation's greatest President, Father Abraham,

gave vindictiveness the bum's rush and the victor's exemplary slam

in the words of the Second Inaugural:

following Christ's directive in the Gospel's Holy call.



Starward-Led



Author's Notes/Comments: 

I am utterly enraged, offended, and shocked by those persons of assumable intelligence who can call---who can dare to call---the present occupant of the White House (I call him "that man" as I will neither voluntarily speak or mentioned his accursed name) the "greatest president" (or some such variation) when the monuments in Washington D.C.; Springfield, Illinois; and Keystone, South Dakota  bear silent and lasting testimony (in stone!) otherwise.
