Fulfilling on A Dream
A brave and courageous man
With more vision on his worst day
Than certain equivocating democrats
Possess on their best
Perhaps, one day, in the future
of the Mid-East
will, by God's grace, be Redeemed
To my sons, Alex and Nick
A new time is upon us
Hillary Clinton is running for President
Barack Obama is running for President
Same year, same election
Amazing
Much of my adolescence
Our generation's growing up
Was concerned with rights
Women’s rights, civil rights
Human rights
That Hillary and Barack
Both candidates in the
Same Presidential election–
Seems like a dream
Within which lies the potential
To fulfill on the promise of
What my generation is about
Our forefathers may
Not have dreamed possible
My mother, her father and mine
Would scarcely believe
What is unfolding
By standards they knew
This is unthinkable
Time is always short
Even while it seems ordinary
By Now
Here, in riveting circumstances
While our nation hurts
Let us pray for their safety
May courage fill our hearts
And God, please keep mine large
