SWAN LETTER
<p>Swan Letter</p><p><br/></p><p>There I was absorbing the great swirls of unclipped lips hedged around me, aggravating to a storm.</p><p>And I, sat still in the eye of the current. </p><p>A seat of puppetry.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>The woven whispered words wailed louder in woe,</p><p> in inaction,</p><p> in regret,</p><p>yet found no remedy in the thought.</p><p>The bitterness got bitter as perceived opinions slapped my face with my deceit, my sham and my failed leadership.</p><p>They told me no more. I remained still in the seat of puppetry.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Control was out of my control. Leadership began to lead me.</p><p>I feared the fear of families.</p><p>I spoke none yet I spoke.</p><p>The raging cries roared as crisis watered the earth.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>The body ask me what is the next course,</p><p>It was theirs and not mine to dictate.</p><p>All was on me even though it isn’t my course to lead.</p><p>I tried to reach out to every present noise but far it was,</p><p>reverberated on the reports and sheets.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>A debeaked bird in a white prison,</p><p>Yet it dawned on me everyday on what I should say? </p><p>Have it your way.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>The last of me was inked before the eternal sleep.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Signed</p><p>Mr President.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>First written in Catalyst Crib.</p><p> Now here.</p><p><br/></p>
