NO DRAMA
Tradition dictates a ceremony
Speeches, parades and pageantry
Custom and practice; habitual
Oath of Office; a ritual
Once the theatricals, parties are through
Duty dictates a job to do
Breaking tradition; be first in all things
So all can come first; a dream fit for King
Priority issues, economy, wars
Global Green worries the World ignores
Each day a fresh page in history
So don’t ever stand on ceremony
The first hundred days will act as a gauge
Be proactive; first to engage
Rise to the challenge with dignity
Embrace each task with humility
Approach the doubts of the critical
With an attitude, analytical
Perform to your best ability
Modestly; without ceremony
First amongst equals, the first to achieve
First term in office, a change we believe
Given a second term, what irony
No need to change the ‘Change’ policy
Hi Stan, on form as ever, a warning to the wise, perhaps!
ReplyDeleteA most timely post.
ReplyDeleteChange IS the currency of the day. Nicely said.
ReplyDeleteThanks to:
ReplyDeleteAndy; I think a lot of people are looking for a way out of the current global situation and the new US administration could be the answer - here's hoping.
Anthony North; A combination of the elements that prompted the prompt.
Tumblewords; The campaign slogan increased in relevance by the day.
well i am under the assumption that it took us years to get into this mess and it will take us years to get out... but change in the form of progress will be a wonderful thing,, if and when it materializes....
ReplyDeleteexcellently written.....
Change is definitely important. Without it, we can't move forward.
ReplyDeleteCeremony has certainly been on our minds!

Cam; And surely now is the time to make that move.
Rinkly Rimes; Now it's time to get down to business.
Hi, here from "TOP"
ReplyDeleteI like the advice of "no drama" after the ceremony. To carryout change, to perform the actions needed to change. Well-said.
(I'm a quirky one for details and enjoy puns. Word verification says "sensur"; well we writers, most of us anyway, do not believe in "censor!")
Hi Gel and thanks;
ReplyDeleteNo drama is also a play on his name. The change we have to beleive, is that things, all things, will improve. Time will tell.
haha, the first four lines are awesome. lol
ReplyDeleteceremonies ceremonies, why do we have to attend lots. :-)
