On Inauguration Day, I Will Stand

On Inauguration Day I will Stand

I will defy lightning to strike me
Looking heavenward
Asking How?
Asking Why?

I will look Heavenward
And I will stand
With Women
With Muslims
With Mexicans
With Disabled Reporters
With duped Voters
With Scientists
With the Ethical Elected
With Families of the Fallen
With any Citizen who expresses their right to free speech
With Republicans who oppose this tyrant
With Democrats rebuilding
With Black Lives Matter
With Your Life that Matters. One is not minimized by embracing the other.
With Americans everywhere whose allure in reality TV becomes a lesson learned in lessons learned. And oh, we will learn hard, those lessons.
With Children who deserve so much better
With those who wish for respectful discourse.

On Inauguration Day I Will Stand
Defying Lightning to Strike
There may be tears in my eyes
But I will stand

And I will look forward
Looking Heavenward
To the Sun breaking through
One mind, one voter at a time.

On Inauguration Day I Will Stand.
With Millions.

Cassandra ... I will stand with the voters in the 2,800 counties who elected President Trump.

I will stand with ranchers and veterans and farmers and pick-up truck owners and gun owners and volunteers and engineers ... With police officers and EMTs ... steel workers and construction teams ... with men that have backbone ... with women that have vision.

With the God appreciating ... with those who ushered in the largest political power shift ... since 1922

You are entitled to, and good on you for doing so. You should stand with those who represent your beliefs. With those who best represent you.

Unfortunately, he doesn't best represent me. And that's ok. The USA is not, and should not be a one party state. Sometimes it's the Dems in power, and sometimes the GOP. That's fine, and as it should be.

That doesn't mean I should love the guy, though I do wish him well. The Republicans sure made it hard for Obama. They didn't all fall in line for him and in fact went out of their way to make things difficult for him.

That is politics.
It's weird that I am saying this while being the youngest one here, and being attacked for my opinions by the oldest ones here.

But that's fine. I suspect the next four years will look like this stream.
Over a POEM! Lmao.

When I say attacked, I meant generally, and not you specifically. You haven't done so.
