Give Me A Moment, By Brian37

Give Me A Moment, By Brian37

 

Give me a moment

To reflect

About this moment

Of great effect

 

A dark skin man

Took the reins

Putting to pasture

Hateful rage

 

Special bathrooms

Separate schools

Tears in eyes

On this day

 

Not forgotten

He pulls us up

Reminding us all

Of E-Pluribus Unum

 

Give me a moment

To reflect

On Alabama

And men in hoods

 

Give me a moment

To reflect

The mall once covered

With men in hoods

 

Give me a moment

To reflect

Now he stands

Our president

 

He spoke of Jews

Muslims and Hindus

He spoke to me

The godless too

 

He said we were

All citizens

A patchwork

Of diverse immigrants

 

He looked forward

Calling us all

To come together

And love to serve

 

Give me a moment

To reflect

It is really true

He’s our President

 

Bursting with pride

I breath a sigh

We finally removed

That nasty sign

 

Give me a moment

I cant wake up

I am awake

And joyfully real

 

"We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus -- and nonbelievers."Obama
