after the hurricane

when the tears no longer form

when the feelings disappear

when your heart doesn't feel

a time to forget

a time to move on

a time to pick up the pieces

because of a life of lies

because of the selfishness

because it wasn't real

after the fear

after the hate

after the hurricane

And the cat name goes to...

Will it be...

A) Mrs. Friskas

B) Charlotte

C) Aqua / Aquamarine (Miss Marine)

Stay tuned!

the new america

real, unabated pride

a turning of the tide

we can conquer hate

end the racially tinged debate

be the change you want to see

know the definition of free

fight for every right

hope lights up the night

the end of an era

welcome to the new america

on the eve of change
