Lead Us
by George Hoerneri try swimming through
the reflecting pool to see
our new Lincoln speak
but am turned away
by those who believe
im a terrorist
this man who knows
he is not a king
but shining as one
while he explains
the difficulties we face
giving us a taste of
the new America
one open to all
willing to participate
in its rebirth
sorely needed
lead us please
to that mountain top
the one that gives us
a lovely perspective
of what this country
can be
and now
the work begins
