A Choice

This is a poem I wrote on November 10, 2008, and it was inspired by the 2008 Presidential election that took place in the United States.


We had to use our voice
Had to use it to make a choice
Needed to make a change to our fate
Before it got to be too late


And the choice has been made
Farewell to the old guard we bade
As a people, we voted for change
And yet to some, that choice seems strange


There's a change in the air
And you can feel it everywhere
There's a return to hope from despair
But there's still a lot to repair
