Election Reflection

I am just human

In the sand a line is drawn

Two separate opposite universes

Two extremes so different

But I am human

I think human

I act human

I do human

I’m not bad for being human

The trip     the stumble     the fall

All at once

No lapse of time

No explanation

No reason

It just is because I am human

I live confusion

Uncertainty     abstract     multi-dimensional

Upon multi-dimensional

Events called life

So clearly defined

By the one not living mine

Not living yours

A tapestry woven

Meaning so vague

Transparent

Self-serving

Even as I walk past

The grotto in my mind

Pure     beautiful     perfect

The other side of the line

No matter what I try

No matter what I do

I am still human

* In Honor of President Barack Obama

The morning after

How amazing it would

be, wonderful in fact

if what was invented

was a pill for

the morning after an

election in which the

losers could take and

get over the fact

their candidate did not

win the election. How

amazing it would be,

wonderful in fact if

this pill also ended

anger and animosity and

the burrowing desire to

sling insults and use

language which only divides.

How amazing it would

be, wonderful in fact

if this pill also

made the mind and

spirit clearer to see

the glaring difference between

the two candidates, allowing

reason to scream loud

and clear that the  

right one was elected

by the voters believing

in President Obama’s vision.

How great is America!
