Better Suited

If they had gone out of their way,
To have him appear the fool.
Why are they now the ones...
With those stupid looks on their faces?

I am confused.
Have they driven him nuts?
He clearly is the one smiling.
And they seem to be close to 'cracking up'.

If there is a conference conducted,
To discuss observations we collect.
Should he be the one considered we select...
As the one to head and address this situation,
In distress.
Since he seems the one better suited...
To bring a clarity that corrects.
And right now we need direction,
To help us out of this tangled mess!
