Bloody,
the future was anything.
The courage of divisions,
hesitations answer history.
One severe collapse deeply,
aggressively
the storm passed.
One shuttered decline
hit those who'd already
become
that much harder.
The burdens of harder and longer, less,
unable
to know the reason.
I witness;
I hear
the children.
They don't understand,
not now.
The numbing,
the different face -
they hold a better else.
They share this spirit: strength.
It begins between;
it's that we all hated - what was necessary.
More would surely be lost.
So we took,
we made,
we spent, most
but not all.
The rest, a time of need.
We cut
We cut
We cut
We cut
We cut
We cut thought
on all made possible
Act!
Act!
Act!
Act!
until there are men
and women
who focus,
do,
begin,
grit
grow
gain -
plant today
build tomorrow.
Erased from the text of Barack Obama's State of the Union Address
Amen, brother
