Everyone Doesn't Want to Be President
/Managing adversity by avoiding it.
————
Everyone doesn’t want to
address a nation.
Everyone doesn’t want to
wage a conflict.
Everyone doesn’t want to
meet in secret.
Everyone doesn’t want to
bomb an enemy.
Everyone doesn’t want to
witness victory.
Everyone doesn’t want to
take the credit.
Everyone doesn’t want to
pen his memoirs.
Everyone doesn’t want to
lie in state.
Everyone doesn’t want to
rate a sendoff.
The man who carries the bags says,
Thank God, I carry the bags.
