INAUGURATION DAY


January 20th.
Inauguration Day.

 I will wake 
my two handsome
Hershey-skinned sons

and we will watch

as someone
 with skin 
like theirs

promises
 to do his best
to lead 
our country

down paths 
of wisdom,
 and righteousness,
and justice
for all.

Let freedom ring!
Let freedom ring!
Let freedom ring!
