American Flag

Our Eyes Open

Democracy Wins

Bald Eagle
Democracy Wins

America prides itself on liberty
the pursuit of happiness
the foundation in which
our forefathers built
to maintain freedom
ballots counted
no frivolous lawsuits
will stop our voice
Will justice serve?
A new day
restoration
independence
democracy
wins

I live in Jacksonville, FL. I am graphic designer, writer, photographer and published author. I am now taking those passions & putting them into a blog. I love birds & consider myself a “more than average” birder. I have 3 grown children & 7 grand children plus a grandchild dog named Memphis. I’m married to my soul mate and we have a dog named Heaven. We love to travel & get out somewhere most weekends.

    Viewing from afar, I have to wonder is the UNITED will remain in the USA.

      I hope so! It may take a while to unify the country back to some semblance of what it was before Trump. 🙂 I’m optimistic though!

    I appreciate your sensitive and perceptive poem. As a Brit, I can tell you that I haven’t yet come across anyone who isn’t enormously relieved that Trump was not re-elected. Joe Biden has an enormous task trying to reunite the USA again, as well as the whole world where Trump was dangerously threatening to set nation against nation. But at least, we can now have some hope for a better future where people around the world, especially the most vulnerable, will be treated as equals.

    “frivolous” is a good word for those lawsuits. A collective sigh of relief. Hope it ends well.

      Me too! Trump does something stupid and outlandish every day! It’s not going to end until the fat lady sings and I think she has laryngitis. LOL! 🙂

      Can you believe the crap he is trying to pull right now with the Electoral College? I think he is trying to keep himself out of jail. That’s where he belongs! 🙂
