PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

On the verge of change,  

we look skyward and inward,

breathing in the air of tolerance~

the crispness of new life.



We do not dare pretend that

the journey here was smooth

for it has been wrought

with prejudice and hard work.



A rocky road paved by

the sullied hands of slaves,

trimmed with bullet holes

and bent by the iron-willed.



Today we embark on a new age,

with plans to restore America

to its previous luster and glory;

today we are the United People.
