Inaguration Poem
People think that the feelings 
 hidden in the shadows
 are 
    Greed
    Anger
     Lies
 
 But that’s not true
 
 Greed
 Lies
 Anger 
 
 
 have power to
 control people with ease,
 the world even 
 and there is
 absolutely no need 
 for them 
 to hide
 
 The real outcasts are 
    
 
    Hope 
 
    Love 
 
    Happiness 
 
    Courage
 
 The feelings who 
 try 
 so hard to show 
 try 
 to enlighten 
 try 
 to make people believe 
 that they exist
 
 And even Hope
 the strongest of them all 
 forget that the people are in need
 though 
 the people might not see it 
 just yet
 
 
 
 But one by one
  love 
  hope
  courage
 
  begin to lose interest
  in helping people 
 
 the same people who 
 ignored them who 
 fell for
 Greed 
 Anger 
 Lies
 
 Someone comes along 
 
 someone who truly believes 
 
 in the importance of 
 
     Love
 
     Happiness
 
     Joy
 
     Courage
 
     Will
 
 And that person
 may be 
 just enough 
 to bring out the good
 from the shadows 
 dank and dirty
 and into the hearts of the people
