The Manifest

We came out the other side of the worst decade,
the one they wrote was from hell,
and we came swinging,
he and she,
with our anthem,
telling us that Tuesday,
and lower blue skies would live forever,
and so would we,
if they'd let us,
and when we stopped asking,
and when we realized the turn of the century was well in the rear view,
but they were here,
always would be,
ride or die,
sitting shotgun to the resistance---
