Poem

By Zac Morrison
Thursday November 13, 2008
new blood was needed

mixed blood was had

most of us jubilant

one percent sad



the last 8 years

what an ordeal

each day i woke screaming

“god, this can't be real!”



what comes next

truly historic

so much riding on one meteoric



this last week, what lovely connection

not used to us being such a friendly confection



with the next era

our lives could be strained

a key to survival

this momentum sustained
