Who are we?????

Traveling across time

to be where

hope's resolve

casts itself

upon a sea swelling

awaiting history

Those cold shivers

threaten to undo one's longing

to be present

at such a time as this

such rapt attention

all around the world

just to see

what it is that abounds

in Washington D.C.

2009 begins a new era

we will see

the good and the bad

of one man

just a man is he

and so he, too,

will succeed

and so may we

the people of this nation

and yes stumble on days...

as we make our way

along this path we have chosen

or has it chosen us?

Well i say

it's about time

for all to finally awaken

and be shaken

It's time to know

it truly is not

about the color of the skin

of man or woman or child

but what matters most

is the content of our character

as we think and love

and live and struggle

and believe

Who are we?
