W3 – Biden?

***

An empty office where I used to sit

I have been declared unfit

So many things I wish I’d done

I wasn’t the strongest one.

Calamity was not my style

Although some in the later while

I tried. I really did

Some my predecessor’s rid

But not enough, I apologize

I thought I was more wise

I struggled with my defeat

Now the Constitution lays under our feet

Trampled, ripped and sadly seen

You need to fight, try to glean

The valiant order hidden, now revealed

Democracy protectors please work til we’re healed.

  1. Set in an empty office, the voice of your protagonist, the apology, the Constitution trampled underfoot, the call for action, the depth of subtext—all make for a superb monologue and a wonderful response to my prompt. Thank you, Cheryl. 👏
