Election Poem

We are wounded,
And we are cut.
But we are not infected.
We can heal.
We so badly want that agony to go away,
But waiting and hoping won’t be enough.
We must take action,
We can heal the cut,
It’s not harmful,
We can’t let it become harmful.
We will care for it with only the best medicine,
love.
It may leave a scar,
But it won’t be just any scar.
No,
It will be a mark of our unconditional love for each other,
For our wonderful country,
Our home.

Saying is NOT doing.
America will be great,
But only because we are stronger standing together.
Hillary won the popular vote.
She deserved the presidency.
In my mind she won with flying colors.

We are the light.
We are the future.
We have the tools to dig our way out of this hole.
A hole we have tried to escape for so long.
If not for the fact that someone keeps filling it in,
We could have succeeded by now,
But we will soon.
I have faith.

We need to respect everyone,
And we must listen to everyone.
We are all the same race,
The human race.
We are a democracy,
So we all deserve to have a voice.
If we put our minds, bodies, and voices together,
We will survive.
We must survive.
We are the land of the free,
And the home of the brave.
We are the United,
NOT the divided,
States of America.
