Condition

I am the President of the United States. My influence is limited. My position is an incredible burden. Am I more than figurehead? I am the Pope. My life is structure. I am a vehicle for the faith of countless believers. Do I have a voice? I am a celebrity. I am lampooned, scrutinised. Image is my life. Actions determine my ascension and downfall. People want me to falter. Am I living for me? I am a war hero; a hero for killing people. My patriotism is never questioned. How will I be remembered?
