The New Look Americans

Glowing ember of light,
Shining through a cold war, big fight.
Your colors red, blue and white
Oh, YAYY!! What might

Then the father of a boy rose to power
Under his political tutelage a family did flower
While in office he made the world cower
And the image of America did sour.

The next eight years brought us a Clinton.
He had the pundits smitten
While in office he went crazy for the kitten
But in the end, even he was bitten.

The Son of the father was next in line
After the election America felt fine
A few months in and suddenly the worlds worst crime
Uh oh, from the growing darkness we got a horrific sign.

Then a war, a storm and a crisis came along
Looks like America has taken too many hits from the bong
A stuttering president cannot sing a soothing song
All we hear in the news is that we're always wrong.

Tonight, Americans made history
What happens now is a mystery
A change was needed; easy to see
A stable, happy and peaceful country is a myth to me

Our future is only a guess
We could be diving further into a blurry mess
But of America the world could not think much less
Of that, I am embarrassed, I must confess.

A smart decision is not an individual win
A black president is not a cardinal sin
In fact, it gives us a leader that I'm proud to call my kin
And a new chapter for America can begin.
