While the President leads his potential adversaries in almost every state, his support is soft. He is seen as honest, sincere, just, and friendly but gets mediocre or relatively poor ratings being competent strong, intelligent, and a forceful leader.

After The Poems What Will Be For Me?
After the poems, what will be for me?
I am now wholly in them
But they are not as good
As I dreamed
And I as a poet am not the answer to my own ambition.
Will it be ‘Stories’ next?
And then on to ‘Aphoristic reflections’ Pascal- like?
How will I do it?
Or will, as seems most likely now, how will I never do it?
I am the mediocre poet who is the mediocre writer who is the mediocre thinker who is mediocre in all he does
I am the mediocrity and my mediocrity makes me me.
Mediocre me- Pity pity the poor ambitious soul
Who would have been great, and is not.

A good leader is one who can tell another how to reach his or her potential; a great leader is one who can help another discover this potential for him or herself.

Ever since I was a child I have had this instinctive urge for expansion and growth. To me, the function and duty of a quality human being is the sincere and honest development of one's potential.
We got ratings. It isn't that they won't quarrel with you, or say you're always right. But as long as you stay strong and the ratings are good and you're reasonable - I don't think we fought unreasonably. We basically won that right.

Competent AND Competitive
People given positions,
Would like to believe themselves...
As being intelligent.
To then be compensated,
For the ease to be manipulated.
And accepted to play on the team.
Those who are intelligent,
Are rarely offered a second interview.
Since anyone in a position to hire,
Would find it difficult to fire...
Someone with an opinion,
Who proves to be competent AND competitive.

In smoke
My joy went up in smoke,
It was hard blow and stroke
Someone had tried to blow
To interrupt the smooth flow
I shall go down
May be mistake of my own
She can think and form opinion
Alas! It was short and sweet misinformation
I must confess and not argue
She is right in her view
How can one over look sentiments
She has right for resentment
I shall not see her again
As she has anguish and pain
She may realize soon and think
I had not a word against her to ink
She was best and intelligent
Every word had impact and movement
How best she was at quick grasp?
She had easy go at any task
I may miss her forceful bye
Even though I had desperate and vain try
I know she may be broke and in tears
I too here feel bad and suffer
She represents woman race
Forceful views with support in all the cases
I have seen her making the chase
Plotting it on canvass to look beautiful page
I shall be careful in future
Make it look doubly sure
Why some one should feel bad at all?
We must give away instead of making it difficult as wall

Sonnet: Prayer for a Good American Prez
O God, Give us a President who’s strong
In faith and will, conduct and character;
Who heeds to conscience; sifts right from wrong,
And leads the nation, without pride factor.
O God, show us a most befitting man,
Woman, who rules sans corruption and flaw;
Steer the country from recession; who can
Make the nation proud through most perfect law.
O God, select the leader who hates war,
And won’t allow the unborn to be killed;
Maintains Matrimony holy by far-
Fetched measures; brings peace to all, God-willed.
Give us a President, who fears the Lord,
And rules by wisdom; not by bullet, sword.
‘God Bless America! ’

Feeling
Deep in my heart
I have this feeling...
Feeling to be good
Feeling to be kind
Feeling to be open
Noble, gentle, and humble...
Feeling to be helpful
Feeling to be truthful
Feeling to be respectful
Faithful, cheerful, and thoughtful...
Feeling to be friendly
Feeling to be sincere
Feeling to be polite
Considerate, obedient, and honest...
And a feeling to make
The world a happy nest.
Search your heart
And tap that feeling
The feeling of serenity
The feeling of tranquillity
The feeling of grace
The feeling of peace
The feeling of love
The feeling of life
The feeling that leads you
To the realm of light.
Nurture this feeling
Think and let it grow...
The feeling will rid
The world of its sorrow
And this feeling will bring
An all new tomorrow.

I think the President himself is a remarkably intelligent, decent, ethical man. I think he did very well, but I think the job builds up over expectations which all candidates contribute to including this President that simply cannot be fulfilled.

My Love
My love is strong,
My heart is big,
What I would give
To keep you,
Is unimaginable.
I like a guy
Who is strong and courageous.
I like a guy
Who is kind and intelligent.
I like a guy
Who is kind and gentle.
I like a guy
Who can speak French and sing.
My love is strong,
My heart is big,
What I would give
To keep you,
Is unimaginable.
I like a guy
Who can draw and keep me safe.
I like a guy
That is beautiful and friendly.
I lve a guy
Who loves animals.
I like a guy
Who can sweep my feet.
I like a guy
Who loves me
For me.

The Power of the Smile
You have a sword, don't you know?
You have a power, don't you believe?
You have a key, don't you sure?
Don't you know, by your smile:
You can be the fire ….
You can be the pen…
You can be the star…
Don't you know, you can be as you wish?
Don't you believe, you can be as you dream?
Don't you think, you can be the leader?
Don't you know:
Sweet smile can make date for two sweet soul…
Pure smile can play love song on some one's heart…
Honest smile can put the fire on your desire…
Optimistic smile can clear all the darkness…
True smile can paint the rainbow on your life…
Strong smile can put shining stars on your sky…

The President I Nearly Met
Once, I nearly met a President
It was a very hot morning when we docked in port of Prince. Papa Doc was
in power then, the president of Haiti, a nice man who gave coins to the poor.
Onboard came the usual gang of uniformed official who wanted whisky and
cigarettes before any papers were signed. Amongst them Tonton Macute,
men in slacks, summer shirts concealing side arms, sunglasses worn day or
night; Papa Doc’s men looking after things. One of them offered to take me
ashore show where the best whore was, I declined have an aversion for guns.
It was a long hot night all portholes and doors closed, frantic people trying
to sneak onboard to get away from this sunlit Island. The pilot came at noon
to take us out, an intelligent man with eyes who had seen it all, he spoke
English, I asked him about Papa Doc. He paused and said: “our president is
a very nice man when he visits villages he has bags of coins whish he strew
on the road for the poor to pick up from the dust, and with desperate hearts
they are grateful for what he gives them.”

Paper President
A new leader was elected, then anointed
First black leader and white house resident
The duped young voters were disappointed
Surprise!

Are You Sincere?
The words you said to me,
you repeat to someone new.
You say the things I want to hear,
but are you sincere?
I sit alone and wonder,
if your words are meant for me,
that I am the only one that you hold dear.
However, my mind keeps nagging, are you sincere?
Friends tell me stories about you,
I do not want to believe.
You just say the words are all lies.
In my mind the questions still arise, are you sincere?
I find the back door open,
when I come home at night.
You say you left it open in a state of fear.
As I close and lock it I wonder, are you sincere?
