America Reborn

RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN DEMOCRACY

 

America Reborn

 

The miracle of democracy is

That our government is reborn

Every four years

 

Often there is continuity

A civilized transfer of power

A seamless flow of common ideas

Connecting past to future

 

Sometimes there is upheaval

As there is today

A severance of the present

From the past

A new beginning

A complete rebirth

 

Democracy for all its stumbles

For all its flaws

Affords us this opportunity

This miracle of renewal

 

We begin to heal our wounds

We begin to breathe again

We begin to see the light

We begin to believe again

 

We are America

We lost ourselves

As nations sometimes do

But we have returned

To embrace the dream

To secure the indelible truth
