We humans are resilient

Our coping skills are brilliant

In times of stress and danger

We make friends with a stranger

We can endure so much pain

Bear the weight and stretch and strain

When we fall it’s not the end

We can learn, adapt, amend

Take a breath, wipe off the dirt

Optimism doesn’t hurt

Through the tears we can still laugh

Heal and get back on our path

We might fight or scream or cuss

But there’s strength in all of us

To rise up, to reinvent

We’ll survive this president

We’ll oust him and all his mates

As the whole world celebrates
