by Earl J. Wilcox
Builder of habitats for persons without a house.
Eradicator of diseases among world’s poorest people.
Peacemaker for nations that have had little peace.
Overseer of fair elections where corrupt politicians rule.
Role model for human species: sincere, happy, productive,
Inspiring, gracious mortal. Mankind’s finest: see Jimmy Carter.
Earl J Wilcox lives in South Carolina, cooks, writes, watches baseball, contributes regularly to The New Verse News.
