Welcome to My Poetry Site
A Dream Come True
I dreamed the day finally arrived
When ALL people realized
And understood why Donald Trump
Deserved to be so despised.
People everywhere saw through
His empty words, his lies, his act,
His bigoted, odious promises,
His thought process so inexact.
No one acknowledged his asinine tweets
Or listened to his divisive rants.
No one went to his vacuous rallies
And started shouting racist chants.
No one let him- or herself
Be duped by the man's endless stream
Of worthless gibberish and hateful talk
That once made non-supporters scream.
Our country had respect again
From countries worthy of respect.
Foreign relations were also mended
After having suffered neglect.
No longer did we admire
Autocrats and dictators.
We looked up to our allies and praised
Diplomatic negotiators.
The voices of white supremacy
Were drowned by voices of love and inclusion.
Voting rights would be protected.
That became a foregone conclusion.
Russia and other countries couldn't
Interfere with our elections.
All people living in
The U.S. had equal protections.
Religious freedom meant that people
Could practice beliefs across the nation
And NOT use religion as
A handy excuse for discrimination.
Clean air and clean water
Became a focus, AND what's more,
Climate change wasn't considered
A silly hoax that we should ignore.
Children were not separated
From parents at our border gate.
People weren't dehumanized
And made to feel second rate.
The taxation system was fair
And benefited not only the wealthy.
Everyone had health insurance
With emphasis on being healthy.
To presidential abuse of power
Legislators said farewell.
And egomaniacal Donald Trump
Languished in a prison cell.
What a dream--what a vision--
Where joyous hopes began anew!
If only it could come to fruition!
It would be a dream come true.
