The ballerina pirouettes.
Round and round she goes.
Her satin slippers turn endlessly
as she balances on her toes.
Dizzying it would certainly be
to spin so unnecessarily.
But, she uses a trick she very well knows.
She picks a single point in sight
and holds her focus on that point, so tight.
She keeps her balance and dances on,
steady as the graceful dancer we all know.
And when the music ends
as every song must
she takes her bow and we all cheer.
America is well and still on her feet,
avoiding the fall we all feared.
America shall dance again
as soon as the new song begins.
Voters shall pick a tune they enjoy,
one that cares for every girl and boy,
for every color, race and creed,
for laborers and workers, rather than greed.
The Land of the free.The home of the brave.
The audience of those who refused to cave.
Ballerinas keep their eyes on the prize.
Focus and keep dancing: a word to the wise.
Keep dancing to your own true beat.
Stay focused and stay on your feet.
