Never has a president dominated the daily news cycle like the current officeholder. Still, a time will come when memories fade, and we will look back on his tenure and ask what constitutes a fitting tribute. Therefore, I offer the following lines.
Tribute
When it comes to monuments
The Washington Monument
Is most monumental
Just as the Lincoln Memorial
Is most memorable
Among memorials.
In 2025 we have no Washington
Nor do we have a Lincoln,
But another has risen up
To occupy their high office.
It is not too soon for us to talk
Of remembering him
For his words and deeds
Loudly proclaim his name
Deserves to be engraved
From sea to shining sea
Upon landfills
And prisons
And sewers.
Lest we forget.
