Ownership
I wonder how
it could be a problem
for me to kneel
on my own knees
in my own house
to my own flag
just before engaging my my own audience
with my own talent
especially since I’ve ALWAYS owned myself
but I showed up to listen to your ideas
because you are my own people
and when I built this country
I believe that I had good intentions
and as I continue to lead you
I believe it’s important to understand how you feel
but listen
this was my method of communicating
that some of my own employees
the people I hired to protect my own streets
have been making far too many mistakes
spilling my own blood
and the blood of my own family
and I own their mistakes
and so it is my duty to communicate their correction
please, let me hear what your ideas are
then let’s put them to work with our own hands
in our own country
because to own a thing
is to be a steward
charged with it’s just treatment
