Seuss

Ablaze with hope.
In shock.
Amazed.
Beyond a joke of live it seems
as twenty golden daffodils recalibrate our dreams.

Before, a nothing, vast and cool.
A forest gathering of hate.
Beyond, the circle of the ruling class annihilate.

A golden hope of history demands
a triple consequence of wrong.
And in these dark but pleasant lands
the cast of thousands sing their song.
And for a moment we declare
the innocence of every tree
and elevate this sacred space
beyond democracy.
