It’s been a rough road, long and hard
For America has been ill-starred
Mass turn-out on November day
Huge line-ups – each wants his own say.
The tension mounts, the Blue Wall builds
The central Red Belt quickly fills
No landslide as predicted, yet
Several States run neck-and-neck...
The tweets continue; calls for calm;
Both Trump and Biden chance their arm
But it is still too close to call
All up for grabs! We’re held in thrall…
There’s need for healing in this Nation
Sadly split, through provocation;
Europe watches in the wings
While someone practises golf swings!
Then Pennsylvania State declares
The Democrats learn it is theirs
Crowds fill the streets in Delaware
Joyful cries rend though the air!
A wind of change we now detect;
Joe Biden – President-Elect
Makes his first speech to the Nation:
The word is - reconciliation …
