looking forward

Joe Biden's thinking now, he should have tried,

and casts an eye on 2020's race.

His Beau adjoured him, just before he died

to leave the task half-done was not his place.

The CHANGE Obama'd preached in their campaign--

deferred when Senate votes came to a pinch--

is more than just a slogan, or refrain.
It stokes the faithful, like Loretta Lynch.

Gerontocrats who hold Capital Hill
disdain to give Millennials a voice.
But they're perceived to do their donors' will;
young voters see "Two Parties" as "No Choice".
Republics can't stay green in stagnant mud;
the Tree of Liberty requires fresh blood.
