CONFIDENCE
In the spirit of Michelle e o's blog Headlines & Poetry (which is always a good read - check it out), I am writing a spontaneous (and silly) poem in response to this headline:
Bush Urges Confidence in His Leadership
Confidence is not granted
when simply asked for
it's earned.
How long should we keep
our hand in the fire
pretending it doesn't burn?
How long can we tip our heads
at the sound of a silent
roar?
No more. No More.
P.S. In the photo with the article, what do you think Bush is showing the size of?
The economy?
