                        Some Say This is the End of the Era of Trump

Some say this is the end of the era of Trump
Some with glee
Some in mourning

Some say this is the beginning of the era of Biden
Some with glee
Some in mourning

But I say that this is your era
As it always was
And always will be

And you realize that this is your era
Sometimes with glee
Sometimes in mourning

You need no leader, no master, no whip
Obey yourself
And lead yourself

You wear no one else’s name
For you have yours
And you are free

You are not defined by an era
Define yourself
And honor yourself

Make the picture of your hero
A self-portrait

Sometimes with glee
Sometimes in mourning

But always you
