One was
The Queen of Soul
The other
An American Hero
The nation said farewell this week
With words moving and patriotic
In sharp contrast to
The current abundance of speech vitriolic
Perhaps the moment will linger
And speech be a tad more civil
Perhaps political egos
Will shrivel just a little
America is better
Than we have most recently been
Maybe the passing of John and Aretha
Will bring us closer again
