Ending an Era

Obamaphoria - how
the American Dream
evolves

pockets of jubilant
people having placed their bet
on the President Elect
Barack Obama
pack for the inauguration
pilgrimage
millions have cashed in on this
dose of hope, this promise
of change, this lift from
the malaise of war, treachery,
manipulation and greed.

we'd been looking for a hero
some compassion - and a brain bigger
than the last man in charge
a shift in vibration -
away from the self defeating
nature of fear and manipulation
back to progressive
active participation
in the making of a respected
civilization.
