| Notes | The speaker of the poem addresses the President of the United States regarding the state of the world. The poem is likely obliquely referencing the War on Terror, which was ongoing at the time of the poem's publication. The speaker of the poem refuses to be hoodwinked by the war, or media coverage of the war, and decides to turn off her television to listen to what the earth itself tells her. |
