The word came in this morning
that your loved ones have been freed.
That sanity has prevailed.
That the people have simply refused.
The people said NO!, loud enough
to be heard around the world.
No to abuse at the hands of fascists,
grifters, schemers and liars.
It's time to toss the confetti.
Time to rejoice in solidarity.
Time to smile again
at the neighbour
who won't be stolen in the night.
Peace won't come quickly, for sure, but -
the demolished things can be rebuilt.
Lives damaged can be healed.
Criminals can be cancelled.
Justice will be served.
It's time for health care, public lands,
pollution control, education,
child care, transportation -
all these to be remedied, pronto.
The word came this morning,
that truth and integrity matter.
That there'll be push back
against the extant tyranny.
The word came this morning
that jubilation is at hand.
