Poems about Politics

Struggling through six AP’s of junior year seems like a time in th

2016

construction reconstruction there was a house and there was a life delays in building and delays from strife

Life always surprises others with its unexpected gifts, as usual. Life.

On November 9th, The world woke up In shock, despair, and disbelief

Was it all in vain? The happiness in my heart that ignited hearing President Obama's name?

On a special morning in December 20 years ago I landed with only 2 suitcases

It began as it always does: empty promises, hollow resolutions, and the hope of a blank slate despite all else.
