Thinking Out Loud

Face it: we often think out loud.

But it's not very statesmanlike

When you are a president

To do it when speaking into a mic.

The president's words have repercussions

At home and around the world as well.

Does Trump always mean what he says?

It's sometimes difficult to tell.

To say that Iraq has no sovereignty,

That we should have taken the oil and split,

Is totally irresponsible.

The president seems to care not a whit.

Imagine how the Iraqis feel.

It only confirms what many perceive

To be the reason for our presence

Over there: to gut them and leave.

Imagine the potential harm

Such words can do to Americans there.

Trump, what is going on

Underneath all that hair?
