The United States Of Purple

It begins now
It begins today.

A change has come
A real leader to lead us
An honest to goodness statesman to show to us our better angels.

Racism has always been a non-starter
An ignorant means to no end whatsoever
A violent, vicious dark age now eclipsed by the audacity of hope.

Don’t be fooled by the naysayers
Led astray by the doom mongers
A united front replaces rhetoric with real love.

It begins today
It begins now.

A new President to lead the way
A new President to save America from itself
A new President to show the world how it’s done.

The United States of America like a turtle on its back
The United States of America like a fish drowning
The United States of America like a Confederate Soldier with Amnesia.

The United States of Purple a game changer
The United States of Purple a blossoming flower
The United States of Purple a personal, passionate choice.
