Hopeful Tuesday
1.
I had a beer with President Obama
Couldn’t do that with Bush
Talked Basketball and Jay-Z
Seriously
2.
American pride
Flag dyed on skin
Inked black
White House Black
Dad is watching
3.
Shirts worn proudly
Dreams decorating sleeves
Tears roll across rivers
Wind swept masses making the moment
Hope came to those who can
4.
Fox News shows the speech of the fallen
He does not drink beer
He has never seen the house Laura picked out
Seriously
5.
Aretha sang an American spiritual
On the day my America became spiritual
The day my Irish self
Found
My reflection
In my African self
