Feelin' BLUE

A wave of BLUE has washed across

America. It has succeeded

In offering refreshing hope--

Something that is badly needed.

RED--suspicious--oftentimes

Regards BLUE with flaming derision.

Skeptical, it challenges

BLUE's unifying vision.

BLUE hopes to wash away

Signs of growing division and hate--

To put an end to skilled disruption

And odious chaos before it's too late.

Although people strive to try

To resist the wave, in due course,

The wave of BLUE can bring about

Positive change as it gathers force.

Perhaps the wave can also erode

Stubborn threats to freedom and rights

And dampen the unimaginable

Before the powder keg ignites.

Perhaps the wave will drown the practice

Of unfair treatment, voter suppression,

Verbal attacks, lies and deceit,

And unnecessary aggression.

The BLUE wave could very well

Tone down RED's fiery hue.

Now I feel more optimistic.

What's more, I love the color BLUE.
