At last
A sigh of relief After holding my breath For four years A revolution in the making One of love and hope Not of rage and vindictiveness Done are the days of the orange buffoon waving his small genitals to the crowd he despises Done are the days of hating the hate Now it's time to see it. See it and send it off See it and pass it forward See it and forget it Or better yet See it and forgive it I once was not a believer of all things democracy It was an idea that belonged in the playground It was an idealist's game And I didn't know how to play Like so many others I didn't know I didn't use my voice to speak I didn't use my pen to sign I didn't use my ballot to vote I was a non-believer in the political game of our lifetime And now here I am rejoicing in the return of the facade of democracy It is beautiful this facade It is striking And it hit me today What a revolution of the spirit This time has been for me What a revolution of the spirit. Welcome back democracy Now I exhale. ***
