RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: 2020 ELECTION
A Promise of Unity
The promise of tomorrow begins today
We clear our sleepy heads in wonder
Was it a dream or will it stay
To cast our fears asunder
We wait with guarded optimism
As a divided nation lends its ears
To the newly elected president
Who owns the wisdom of his years
Those who brought him to the dance
With affection give him cheers
Others concede to give him a chance
To push back our darkest fears
A spirit of unity is born again
After four long years in hiding
Those who walked a lonely path
Are pleased to finally be riding
The way ahead will not be easy
We all know that much is true
But we are pledged to understand
What it’s like to wear another’s shoes
For tomorrow is another day
A chance to write the story new
We are a nation of true believers
Neither red nor green nor blue
