The Battle Joined Today
The American heart now beats again
it stirs from a disturbing sleep within.
An unbalanced man had his knee,
kept it on the nation's neck for all to see.
Our heavy hearts were ignited today
one nominee's compassion shines the way.
A minority woman running mate -
will wisely guide in the world's next debate.
America smiles wryly in the thought
that democracy avoids this onslaught.
Hopes surge to brave hearts in moments sober
for Americans and friends world over.
