Equal Opportunity To Grow

Equal Opportunity To Grow

Sipping coffee as he stares out the window
at cars flashing past on the busy road,
he grins amused at the strange irony
that our president is a foreign asset
who shut down our government for a wall
that will solve no problems of immigration.

"Whatever happens down in Washington,
whether he is impeached, deposed, or killed,
we, the good people of America,
will continue with rituals of our lives,
working hard at our jobs, raising our children,
and getting together to eat with friends."

Walking outside to catch the bus to work,
he gazes at the vast empty blue sky,
grateful that no meteor hits the Earth,
or that terrorists have fired nuclear missiles,
then gazes at waiting people with love
as warm sunlight glows on cold winter day.

"I am confident our dynamic system
of democracy with opposing parties
will survive well this dysfunctional crisis,
adjusting process of freedom and justice
so every person willing to work hard
has equal opportunity to grow."
