Poet Amanda Gorman reads ‘The Hill We Climb’ – YouTube
It’s hard to imagine a mere two weeks ago today Donald Trump’s lawless collection of punks, losers, and thugs were rioting in the very spot where Amanda read her poem to the world today.
It is a stunning contrast not only to two weeks ago…but to four years ago when Donald Trump read from Steve Bannon scripture his take on American Carnage.
Amanda stopped me in my tracks with her beautiful poem which gives me some hope we’re moving away from the historically pathetic four years of Donald Trump.
To think during Trump’s time we witnessed Rush Limbaugh and Jim Jordan be awarded Congressional Medal of Freedom recognition…then in the very first hour of Joe Biden’s presidency went from that bullshit to Amanda Gorman’s poem which will go down in the footnotes of history.
Amanda, thank you for giving someone old enough to be your father… that a ray of hope is on the horizon even if only in symbolism.
Thank you. You wouldn’t last a day in Oklahoma, kid…but thank you nonetheless.
