did you hear, did you hear, we all see blue—
not light, or sky, or navy, but deep blue.
people are now happy, no longer blue.
did you hear, did you hear, we all love blue?
better than orange—fuck red—we love blue!
tried that red. it's diseased rot. we need blue.
red people are not happy, they're now blue.
did you know, did you know, we all speak blue—
it's true, it's true, America is blue!
better than orange—fuck red—we love blue!
Tried that red. it's diseased rot. we need blue.
did you hear, did you hear, we all see blue—
people are now happy, no longer blue.
it's true, it's true, America is blue!
We're ready for you, don't fail us now blue!
not like red—fuck orange!—we love blue.
Tried that orange shit—it's rot—save us blue!
did you catch it, did you catch it, we're blue—
people are now happy, no longer blue.
it's true, it's true, Americans are blue!
not gray, or black—never red—but true blue
You're in now, don't you fuck us over blue!
not like red or tangerine—we want blue.
Tried that orange shit—a cock—save us blue!
people are now soaring up in the blue.
it's true, it's true, America went blue!
did you catch it, did you catch it, you're blue—
or we will find you and paint your house blue!
not gray, or black—never red—but true blue
better than orange—fuck red—you'll be blue!
Fuck that orange cock—that shit—save us blue!
people are now scoring over the blue.
it's true, it's true, our whole damn world is blue!
did you watch it, did you watch it—we're blue
not light, or night, or hazy, but staunch blue!

- Comment from author about the poem: I am celebrating. The hope and relief in this poem are real. So is the cynicism. I want blue to succeed, and our votes come with expectations. Don’t fuck this up. Written in my original Revelatory Cascade form, this poem is part of the Truth Applied collection.

Okay, I've been checking the votes, and I'm a bit concerned with how many Smiths and Jones live in America.
So I'm going to be doing a deal with them all, a big deal.
No way am I sitting on my ass for the next two years doing nothing. Me and JD will be plotting something big, won't we JD.
Where the hell is, JD.
JD’s already changing his surname, Paul. Nothing to do with the election...he’s always been Jones. 🤣 🌊💙✊🙏
You've forgotten about Mondays, until they come round again. Every 7 days, I think it is! lol. I voted for the Cabbage Party. Let's have a cabbage in charge. Wot? You already have there?! lol. We know who voted for the Spinach Party, and forged the votes to 10 million!
Blue has always been my favorite color except when it comes to politics then it is transparent. Caught the hook from first look a good song my friend and loved the way you used the homograph of blue for mood, color and political party. Very nice my friend
