RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
The Wave
A wave as blue as a clear blue sky
As vast as the ocean blue
A wave that leaves them wondering why
The wave we wished came true
The early returns were promising
Virginia and South Carolina
The forecast calls for a senate swing
The prospects could not be finer
It rolled from east to west
From Atlanta to Chicago
Ohio was the first great test
The night the blue wave rolled
Austin Texas here we come
The greatest hope will rise
The preacher and the crooked bum
Let’s hear the alibis
California to Alaska
Colorado to Lake Michigan
The wave is rolling faster
The opposition party has won
Now the work begins
He is still the president
It is not enough to win
But the message has been sent
