Reporting For Duty

    Reporting For Duty

I Am the master of my fate,

I AM the captain of my soul.

That having been said

     and acknowledged:

I go further now

And declare, as such:

I AM the Captain of this ship

And I Will take over 

            NOW.

And I will do it from the helm

Of the flagship of the fleet

Of nation-states

Sailing these new seas,

   the United States

       of America.

And one of my first commands

               will be 

To return this nation

To its former glory

Under its rule of law:

     its Constitution

By declaring null and void

The unconstitutional reign

Of its Usurper.  For,

One of the eligibility requirements

For the office of its presidency -

And that august office only 

Amongst its federal offices - 

Is to have been born

“In the country, of parents

Who are citizens” thereof.

And the man who took the name

Of Barack Hussein Obama

         in his adulthood

Did not qualify for the office -

By his own admission - 

On that basis.  

And that eligibility requirement

For that particular office

Even after all these years

Still stands, absent 

A constitutional amendment

To the contrary.  

No legalistic legerdemain

Or any other device

               will suffice

To do that job

On such a substantive aspect

Of the contract.

That requirement

              stands

As written.

And I stand

As assigned.

    Ready 

   for duty.

As always.

And I get now

That he was at service too.

             So that I 

Would come forward, duly

           awakened

In reaction, and claim

               my

           rightful

             place

                         here

            at the

           end of

        The Play

 and the beginning

             of

        the real

           thing.
