Love Poem: President

President

Don’t be like that elephant that caused the infants
to slaughter one another indifferent to its posterity
he lifted the corrupt dropped the ripe and bullied 
the resolute warrior 

don’t be like the idiot hunter who kept his living prey
alive and aside to quench his thirst while being wildly
murdered to go free 

don’t be like that desert warrior who shunned the son
believed to be ambitious with no honor in spite of his
valor approved by all but who turned to close all doors 
to Dad running

don’t rely on griots foolish talks taking the kingdom as
a product of your wisdom when your breaking bones to
resting are begging

will you be wise enough to grasp Camus not walking
in front nor behind but sitting beside to help do with fair
choices of the people?
That will be your absolution here.
