Your profound words

of tribute and deep love

and compassion for our leaders

move me to tears

Yes our job is to stand behind you

Kamala Harris through the best

and the worst

of what is to come

Let freedom ring!

Let the black dove sing!

Doc, great poem, up to the end. My prefered message for the campaign is Democratic Diversity versus Republican Repression (or Regression, if you prefer). Emphasizing the overall Diversity rings many more positive bells than highlighting just one specific one. Say Rainbow if you want. Or let us together sing.

you are absolutely right, David

I stand corrected

I was all enthralled quoting the Martina McBride song

that goes "Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing"

when I realized um...changed it to black...

but I should have gone with MLK:

"Let the dove with character sing!"

I think that gets folded into a future vs. past framework pretty neatly
