Red, White, And Blue: A Poem

Red, white, and blue is the best.

63
Fireworks

Life wasn't always like this

It was a vastly different place—

Tormented by the bitterness of the world;

The governance of corruption,

Encapsulating the masses through unrelenting acts of malevolence

However, among this profound dark was a radiating light—

Light that beckoned

Light that evoked peace, prosperity

It seemed like a dream—

Something cultivated by my optimistic imagination—

A means through which I could escape

The tyranny of the world

I took the leap of faith,

Into newfound abundance

The immense change

Soon thereafter, it absorbed me

Indifference substituted by strength

Strength followed by success

It only seems like yesterday

I took the leap of faith

To go against what others say, to keep my family safe

It has been so long since then, I really must profess

But what I really have to say is

Red, white, and blue is the best.

Coffee! Coffee! Coffee!

Lorelai Gilmore and I are kindred spirits.

Coffee! Coffee! Coffee!

When I was in high school, I was the occasional coffee drinker, if you could call it that. I would drink Starbucks frappuccinos and iced mocha drinks, which were more like snacks than coffee, BUT they had coffee in them, so I said I drank coffee. I progressed from my love of “snack drinks" to a more general appreciation of coffee, and would have a cup of coffee once a week or so. My “cup of coffee" would consist of a little coffee and a lot of cream and sugar, but it was coffee nonetheless. Then I started college.
