Poems about Politics
construction
reconstruction
there was a house and there was a life
delays in building and delays from strife
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
Looking back, much has changed--
Not just in my life but in America's.
An election year that sparked protest
It began as it always does: empty promises, hollow resolutions, and the hope of a blank slate despite all else.
