Mr. President

Dear Mr. President,

People danced in the streets when you won.
So many flocked to your inauguration.
A pilgrimage of sorts.

What is going to happen to us?
When will we be able to make ends meet?
Middle class families can barely afford food.

Kids enrolled in community colleges.
They planned to wait out the crisis and go to better schools later.
They didn't get there.

When are they going to come home?
Low flying airplanes struck fear into people's hearts.
We still don't feel safe.

When will America be able to sleep at night again?

Please help us.

Love,
Autumn
