America Turns the Lights on (US Election)

entry picture

The lights go on

And the darkness slips away, from

The podium

The Twitter fueled hate

The stockpiling of lies, we thought it was too late

 

But it Brings a better day

Brings a better day

Brings a better day

 

A tombstone is lifted

And people can now breath

Not suffocating from insanity

And his personal greed

 

It brings a better day

Brings a better day

Brings a better day

perceived faults, put his country and its backbone workers first in the eyes of many.
