And our nation won't be

We’ll make our own place, we said,
we’ll fill it with the things we like
and leave out everything else, no
matter what anyone else says about it

And it won’t be tired or angry
and no one will hurt anyone else
and there will be real change in our real
nation, real actionable consequences
for actions that don’t agree with
what we say is right, what is right

Everyone will be free to be who
they are and want to be, we said, they’ll
never have to compromise that

And we sat down
and we took out our pencils and paper
and started writing a plan and when
we woke up the next morning we couldn’t
read our own handwriting
