inaguration poem

a common strength which once was dormant arises after a bitter winter's hibernation still with sleep in it's eyes with legs unsure does it step forward into the light of day i salute your perseverance i stand in awe of your assurance i seek the spring from which you are fed so i too may be awoken the time has come for change and yet it calls for more of what once was we have lost touch with who we once were we have forgotten the hardships we've endured we have lost the confidence of our convictions and the purity of our pursuits but no longer! our souls are now stirred hope has once again arisen in the hearts of men and the darkness which was once tolerated will no longer be allowed to suffer it's shadow over the spirit of our people i believe for even if our leaders should fail us what has been provoked in me shall never falter this fire set within me, within us has hit a dry kindling of vast proportions the tipping mark is struck and the world awaits this change
