The DNC commenced last night,
And wow, what a shot in the arm!
Mr. Trump had better watch out!
He must feel a sense of alarm.
How refreshing it is to feel
Optimistic once again!
Enlightening, it was like
Experiencing a moment of Zen!
Dignity, decency,
Love, integrity, and truth
Were key words mentioned last night.
Let's hope they inspire our youth.
Women's right to make their choices
Regarding their bodies was a theme.
And how to control corporate greed
Should be more than just a dream.
Celebrating our common purpose
And selfless leadership as well
Made the atmosphere electric
And cast a thrilling, uplifting spell.
Giving praise to diversity
And honoring the working class
Were key last night, along with the hope
Of shattering the ceiling of glass.
When Hillary spoke--oh, my goodness!--
No doubt about it: she was on fire.
Hearing such a powerful speech
Is something of which I never tire.
President Biden was recognized.
Graciously, he passed the baton
To Harris, who will lead us forth.
It's no longer Joe versus Don.
We can see a brand new light.
The bright future will contrast
With Trump's barely illuminated
Journey back to a dismal past.
Freedom and democracy
Are entering a new dimension.
What a motivation for voters!
What a way to start a convention!
