TURNING POINT?


Year three in the reign of DJ is approaching
And here is the question
Does he represent a fundamental national decline
Or is he an aberration?

The fundamental decline argument
Is buttressed by the fact
That Republicans remain largely accepting
Of what to most others is a quack

The aberration argument
Resides in the fact
That most other Americans
Do indeed consider him whacked

Is this a national turning point
Where history starts a descent
Into at best a sustained mediocrity
That no one can prevent?

Or will we somehow rise
From this deep nadir
To continue an historical journey
As a bona fide (but sometimes flawed) exemplar?
