You Can Be Anything... Even President

You Can Be Anything... Even President
-For my son, Dominic

A time of glory is here

Son, how I wish you could remember this

Moment, frozen in time forever

Panic stricken this nation

Time worse than even those who could predict

Did predict could be

Majority of the minority stepped up

Numbers swelling in awe across lines drawn in

Status quo, law and memory

Majority facing prejudice looking in mirrors

Reflecting truths thought overcome

Divided individuals and families

Walking thin lines of attempted

Peace. All and more came as one

To cast opinions, desires and dreams

Divided came united in anticipation

Division remained, but barely so

A majority of all spoke volumes

Proving the pen (electronically, but still)

Is mightier than the sword (or a fire hydrant)

Lies of past generations told over

And over to children naive of the ways of men

Are now over. You can be son, truly now

Can be, anything you want to be

For like you a man blended is now

Hope and proof of what can happen

When all men created equal are treated

Equally
