Today Feels Like a New Day

The dark blood clouds have left It feels like the sun came out for the first time More people feel like they belong I feel like I belong I feel like the wars will end and the fighting will stop The world will see us as we are Not as fearful, angry, vengeful people Not as a fat, overfed, country They think we waste food Stuffing our mouths with gold, and spitting it out as trash While other countries starve. They think we don't care when innocent people die We do waste money on weapons of blood instead of bread for the hungry They see our homeless people and frown, They do not see our values We do waste money on big screen TVs giant houses, and SUVs That cause drought and global warming While other countries suffer As we slouch on our couches, wasting energy ............IS THIS WHO WE ARE?................... NO! We elected Obama! We are peaceful, not violent! We drop food on poor countries, not bombs! Obama said, "We extend a hand to those who unclench theirs. We will preserve our earth, and American jobs!" Bush said, "History? We don't know, we'll all be dead!" I say, " Your children won't be!" He's past! this is now, The future looks great.
