T'was the Night Before The Presidential Inauguration

Trump In, Obama Out.

T'was the Night Before The Presidential Inauguration
ComicVine

'Twas the night before the presidential inauguration, when all through the White House

Everyone was stirring, even Obama’s spouse;

The podium was placed on the front lawn with care,

In preparation that Trump soon would be there;

Republicans were nestled all snug in their beds;

While visions of brick walls danced in their heads;

Follower in their 'Make America Great Again' caps,

Had just settle their brains that this election is a wrap,

When out in the Twitter world Trump tweets make a clatter,

I spring to my phone to see what now is the matter.

Away to my Twitter feed, I see with a flash,

Trump discriminating the disabled and treating women like trash.

When what to my wondering eyes did appear,

NOT Hillary's missing emails, the thing we've been looking for all year.

With a heartbroken feeling so real and thick,

I knew in a moment 'I'm going to be sick'.

More rapid than eagles his corrupt cabinet members came,

Trump whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:

"Now, Pence! now, Mattis! now Mnuchin and Sessions!

On, Priebus! on, Bannon! on, Flynn and Spicer!"

So down to D.C., the Trump clan flew

In the Trump private jet which was shown landing on the news.

As I drew in my head, what would come of the future,

Across the stage Trump came, carrying a banner.

Dressed in a black suit and a tie the color red,

everything for the inauguration was in place, there were no loose threads.

With a wink of his greedy eyes and a twist of his thin haired head

Soon gave me to know I had everything to dread;

He spoke of his thanks, but then went straight to his bragging,

Humbleness? Something the Trump administration is lagging.

As Obama's family left, he gave his secret service a whistle,

And away they all drove after Trump's dismissal

But I heard him exclaim, as he drove out of sight—

“Obama out". *Drop mic*

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
