Oozing Red, White and Blue

We sit and wait patiently,
contemplating,
commiserating,
compounding.

Grief outweighs the triumph. 

There won't be an overnight success,
for this is an uphill battle.

Over the mound,
and through the woods,
we have many more obstacles to face.

It's up to you to decide whether we jog in place,
or step in front of the firing squad and accept the outcome.
