For new beginnings 

We close one chapter 

To enter into the next

Rewriting history all over again

Do we reflect to keep learning from lessons in our past?

Will we continue to go down a similar path 

To make the same mistakes again?

Are we creatures of habit?

Are we capable of change?

New president

Equals

Better days?

Will humanity stay the same?

To turn around

 With high expectations for change?

To receive results we promised 

Never to receive again

Will we acknowledge?

Will we address?

Will we confront?

The damages caused from the past?

We can no longer 

Just speak change into existence 

We must take action

That is not only heard

But 

Tangible.

Joe Biden

Don’t become known as

The child who cried wolf.

We’ve all been hurt enough before

It's time to heal

And 

Introduce a plan 

For 

Recovery 

And 

Transformation

To
End all doubt

By 

Taking back control 

Over

America’s future. 

Let this country 

Be known for

Dreams

Opportunities 

And

Possibilities.

We need a purpose to wake up every morning

Or 

We are better off dead 

Living paycheck to paycheck 

Everyday.

As we close one chapter 

To enter into the next

We have the opportunity 

To rewrite history all over again.
