President of the Month

by Siddiq Islam

Apparently, I was insensitive.
The people shout – they wholly disapprove!
A head cannot be representative
Of body parts that will not with it move,

And I have been decapitated hence.
Detached, disclaimed, denounced, denied and shut.
I quit my quarters, only stares to sense
Upon the head which has become the butt.
