Balloons

The balloons fell down and they filled her with glee.

I've done it, she thought, this is victory.

I can make this country a better place,

Now that I've won this long, bitter race.

She at once thought of ways to bring the nation together,

and all of the battles she would have to weather.

She knew she was strong and fearless, too.

She had hopes and dreams of what she would do.

She would keep our nation at the top of the world,

and provide inspiration to many a girl.

She wanted healthcare and freedom for all of the people,

and ensure that the sexes and races would be equal.

Alas, we all know this was not meant to be,

And our great nation is a sad mockery.

We should still work togther and heal this divide,

So that again all our cititzens can be filled with pride.
