Poem by "the boy"

Poem written by "the boy" about his experience at the Inauguration...

Be the change.

Welcome home.
Today is a new day.
Today is the people's day.
From "yes, we can"
To "yes, we will"
To "yes, we did"
Full names and bloated titles on the tongues of dignitaries.
The crowds roar and jeer and cry.
The sacred oaths begin.
Endless repetition and so help me gods.
Somewhere a cannon fires.
The crowd erupts.
This man-our man-stands before us.
A sea stands assembled.
People united by a common goal and purpose.
We will get this great nation back up on it's feet.
We have the strength to dedicate ourselves once more.
We are one.
One people.
One nation.
A land of the free built on blood and sweat and tears.
But we can do it.
Yes, we can.
