NOW THAT OBAMA HAS WON…

I fear my family
will either disown me
or never speak to me again
for they are against the rights
of the once lowly

yet some of them are friends

I will never understand my family’s issues
but I know that one thing is true

this is the land of the free
the home of the brave

and I still carry
the red white and blue
