We Did it

we,
the American people

elected a black man
to the Presidency

some voted for him
millions

some voted for the other
guy
a once honorable man
who imploded to his lowest
level

that's fine
we most of us
do that sometimes

and the other other guy
the black man
stayed calm
smart
focused:
how can we break
through into
new possibilities

many, many wanted
that shift

he is black and that wasn't the point
he is smart and that's part of the point

the point:
to use that intelligence and calm
and the organized focus of millions
of people
to create
something better
for us all

we the
people

did something amazing:
good for us
