Are you voting in America 2024

 Press play.


America 2024


The people gathered

In their thousands 


Like resilient members of a secret survivalist group 


Day and night


To watch the main podium speaker


Preach to their audience and sing


While red and blue flags 

Adorned with Stars and Stripes


Fluttered like butterfly wings 


As the ignited ones

Looked to the one


Who promised to change 

A million and one things
