All the Presidents, When

To carry the weight of an outspoken nation,

To fearlessly lead with the Wisdom of Solomon,

Exalting compassion with gratitude

While viewing the masses

With forthright equality.

Neither extol nor decry their guile.

 

Champion to everyone,

Revered and reviled.

Servant to all,

Servile to none.

Walking the tightrope of gathered opinion

While plotting the course

Of Sweet Liberty’s cause.

 

And we who are witness

Will always remember,

Praise them or carp them,

But give them their due.

And whether the world be friend or foe

Let all be recorded in history’s vault.
