Reverend Lowery's Benediction

This benediction by Reverend Lowery is the best poem of the day, and not just for the rhymes. Some friends and neighbors found that last part a little bristly, but let's remember this man is a decorated veteran of the old civil rights battles. He wandered off the expected script, but he stepped lightly and with grace. This country wants to come together; did we think we could make up without ever mentioning the fight? A surprise laugh led us right into a nationwide amen. Beautiful way to close the inauguration of America's first non-white president.
