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
2016 went by in the blink of an eye.
I started it 17 but ended it 18 and shy.
No one warns you what a new era brings,
