And The President Wept... Poem by Bryan Corbett

And The President Wept...



i saw it
America saw it
the world saw it
did you see it?

the breaking moment
the point at which
the prepared words
became more than that

the moment that the words
became a real person
a real victim
a first-grader
an un-lived life
an unspeakable
tragedy

the moment
that his frustration
could not be pushed
down any longer

and the President wept...
