They said it wasn’t possible To stand upon a moon Sometimes the stakes are highest When the sun is high at noon They say that if you build it That the people all will come You cannot reach the promise Till the first step though is done We have so many scars It’s very hard for them to heal We have so many closets Where the ghosts in them are real We say that we are equal But then those are only words It’s hard to build a future When your vision becomes blurred The skies of late have darkened But the shift is in the wind The faith of all the people Is not something you rescind Maybe we can all stand up And finally get this right Never will we quit and simply Perish in the night We need this resurrection If we all are too succeed An oath of affirmation Of our duties and our needs We’re all in this together Every right and every wrong This nation is a family To which all of us belong If only we could just embrace Each other as our own This land of purple majesty Where bravery calls its home So many lives surrendered In the blood of basic rights How many more must vanish Before all of us unite Sometimes we cannot look at life As simply black and white The color of humanity, A spectrum of delight Let’s pray this day can bring us All a sense of hope anew Sometimes the most unthinkable of dreams, can still come true Barrack On Everyone. Barrack On! Bless us all. |

Yes, hope has been restored and it is accompanied by determination. You have written a very beautiful, insightful poem on this very significant day in history, dear Richy. I watched Obama and listened to his speech and I think he deserves to be where he now is. But as he stressed: everyone must collaborate. Things are changing for the better.  Love, Margherita |

You wrote my heart and mind with this one! There is a sense of hope finally, that didn't exist a mere 6 months ago. The last 3 months have been disastrous on many levels...but change is in the air, you can 'smell it' now.  a fine fine write for my library!!!! |
