      interesting you say that, she mentioned it as one of her ambitions in her poem; who knows? She has a lovely commanding presence, I agree! I think you need to be 35 to run for president, so maybe in 2034? Cuz she's only 22 now; Her poem was so beautiful, and so well crafted, an inspired vision given straight from her soul, I think we would be lucky to have her as President!

    We’ve learned that quiet isn’t always peace. In the norms and notions of what just is isn’t always justice. And yet, the dawn is ours before we knew it. Somehow we do it. Somehow we’ve weathered and witnessed a nation that isn’t broken, but simply unfinished. We, the successors of a country and a time where a skinny black girl descended from slaves and raised by a single mother can dream of becoming president only to find herself reciting for one.

    As an American who had low and nervous expectations about yesterday's ceremony after being abused by the prior president, yesterday was affirming and we all felt it. I hope our friends across the world know how much we MEANT it. We're ready to climb. I promise you that.

    Blessings to America- may you join together to meet the challenges of this moment to build a better brighter future for all.

    "but because we will never again sow division”
    Beautiful thought; would that it were so. You have to be 22 to believe it, but I hope there are always 22-year olds who keep the idea alive.

    BROWN SKIN
    Brown she is so beautiful, though she seems to be ignored. But, she’s the most captivating color of all the extraordinary chroma, that identifies Gods creations. Brown has been chosen to be the breath and bark of a tree. She gives a voice to sensitivity, her words are as warm as a sheltered heart. She’s the beginning to life, brown has nurtured nature to grow and build nature’s extravagant scenery, and written song to the cosmos. Her euphoria is like no other, brown is truly her strength, it’s her motivation, it’s her destiny. Brown is simply The Earth.
