A Dream Come True

I dreamed the day finally arrived

When ALL people realized

And understood why Donald Trump

Deserved to be so despised.

 

People everywhere saw through

His empty words, his lies, his act,

His bigoted, odious promises,

His thought process so inexact.

 

No one acknowledged his asinine tweets

Or listened to his divisive rants.

No one went to his vacuous rallies

And started shouting racist chants.

 

No one let him- or herself

Be duped by the man's endless stream

Of worthless gibberish and hateful talk

That once made non-supporters scream.

 

Our country had respect again

From countries worthy of respect.

Foreign relations were also mended

After having suffered neglect.

 

No longer did we admire

Autocrats and dictators.

We looked up to our allies and praised

Diplomatic negotiators.

 

The voices of white supremacy

Were drowned by voices of love and inclusion.

Voting rights would be protected.

That became a foregone conclusion.

 

Russia and other countries couldn't

Interfere with our elections.

All people living in

The U.S. had equal protections.

 

Religious freedom meant that people

Could practice beliefs across the nation

And NOT use religion as

A handy excuse for discrimination.

 

Clean air and clean water

Became a focus, AND what's more,

Climate change wasn't considered

A silly hoax that we should ignore.

 

Children were not separated

From parents at our border gate.

People weren't dehumanized

And made to feel second rate.

 

The taxation system was fair

And benefited not only the wealthy.

Everyone had health insurance

With emphasis on being healthy.

 

To presidential abuse of power

Legislators said farewell.

And egomaniacal Donald Trump

Languished in a prison cell.

 

What a dream--what a vision--

Where joyous hopes began anew!

If only it could come to fruition!

It would be a dream come true.

I'm hoping for just that 'and egomaniacal Donald Trump Languished in a prison cell'. Hopefully when it's all said and done; hopefully soon.
