"Change! Change! Change! We want change!" a young woman cried, a chrome microphone gripped in her right hand, a sign gripped in her left, change for the better, written in sprawling red letters, Elims for change, written underneath, rising up and down to the chanting crowd, the crowd crying back with every up and down, up and down. On her royal blue shirt, change, change, change, crawled down the front in alternating red and white, stars snaked their way down her sleeves. She held her voice in a loud strained pitch, carrying her message far across the room, "We want change!!"
The audience chanted back, "For the better!!!"
She smiled. "Here is the man who will bring us change!"
"Hooray!"
"Change!"
"HOORAY!"
"CHANGE!!"
"HOORRAY!!!"
"Here he is ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Elims, the fresh young face who will bring us all the change this country needs!"
"Mr. E! MR. E!!"
Out came a young handsome man. Mr. Elims, waving his hand, humbly accepting their applause, walking his way slowly to the stand. He gazed out over a sea of faces, their eyes reflecting the sparkling light illuminating Mr. Elims from behind. Soon the cheers died down and as the audience waited for him to speak, an obvious symbol of change some shouted, Mr. Elims prepared himself in silent meditation.
"We live in such a beautiful country!"
"YES!"
"We live in such a fine beautiful country
"YES!"
"But... it's being polluted!"
"YES!"
"These fat politicians want you to think you can do nothing! They want you to just roll over and play nice!"
"NO!"
"But I'm telling you we can do something!"
"YES!"
"I TRULY believe we can make this country great again!"
"YES!"
"We can change this country together!!"
"YES!"
"Together we will change this country!!!"
"YES!!"
"Lets get rid of all these stale old ideas!!"
"YES!!"
"CHANGE! CHANGE! CHANGE!"
"E-LIMS!!! E-LIMS!!! E-LIMS!!!"
With a wave of his hands, smiling big and proud, he accepted their applause and the women in the audience turned to their friends, "he really has a nice smile doesn't he?"
"My it is such a nice smile."
"Makes me think we can really change!"
"He's so hopeful. With him we can!!"
"But he's so young!"
And then the men in the audience turned to their wives, "that's why he's not like them!"
"Nope, he's different!"
"I can't believe how he wants to change everything."
"Truly amazing!"
"He's the greatest!
"No one better!"
"CHANGE! CHANGE! CHANGE!"
"Yes, he's the one!"
