Bring the waves -
sorrow, despair, anger, hate.
They may rise above me,
fall down and swamp me -
but when the waves break and subside,
like a rock... I endure.

Bring the fire -
passion and zeal
enflame me and I glow,
becoming hot to the touch -
but when the last ember is cold,
like a rock... I endure.

Bring the rain -
silvery tears of joy
wash away the detritus
and I glisten again-
and when the rain has passed,
like a rock... I endure.

Bring the winds -
winds of time, winds of change
may buffet me endlessly
and flatten all around me -
but when the wind dies,
like a rock... I endure.

Bring them all -
these mighty forces.
Though they smooth and shape me,
it only serves to spread my substance to the world;
My core remains inviolate.
Like a rock... I endure
Put me in coach...I'm ready to
Fuck up...the USA...
Look at me...I can rig...
The presidency!!!!
