Ain’t No Sunshine

I awoke this morning and like always, it was before sunrise.  I waited in anticipation for the sun to rise and shine, but the sun did not shine through the heavy, dense clouds.

I have taken the day off to sit in a corner and lick my wounds, like a feline who has been through a grueling cat fight.

I need time to heal.  i need time to cry.  I need time for quiet reflection.

I am torn.  Torn between wonder of how much we, Americans, have progressed since the “civil rights movement” and the disappointment of losing what I considered to be the most important election in my lifetime.

Obama has been compared to JFK and that is one of my biggest concerns.  JFK was such a young man, with little experience, we lived through very trying times.  During JFK’s term, the Berlin wall was built.  Let us not forget the debacle of “the bay of pigs:.  And yes, the Cuban missile crisis.

Ain’t no sunshine, either figuratively or literaly.  At least not today.

But in the words of Scarlet, tomorrow is another day.
