POETRY FRIDAY- FOUND POEM

This victory 

alone

is not 

the change

we seek.

It is only

the chance

for us 

to make 

that change.

And that

cannot happen

if we

go back

to the way

things were.

It cannot happen

without you

without

 a new spirit

of service

a new spirit

of sacrifice

So let us summon

a new spirit

of patriotism

of responsibility

where each of us

resolves 

to pitch in

and work harder

and look after

not only ourselves

but each other.

Barack Obama
