After the Election
After the election, I’ll have plenty to say,
because the results didn't favor my way.
For a great while I'll feel very stressed.
This president's plans to give someone less.
After the election, if my person had won,
it would have been all smiles, delight and fun.
Honor and justice would have branched out.
Yet, deceit and bigotry has taken the bout.
Now I sit and ponder the way of the world,
waiting and watching whatever unfurl.
Unfortunately, peace and calm won’t begin.
Protesters have taken up signs, again.
After the election, it was hard to understand.
Why would voters choose this particular man?
Now the tally is in; there's no more mystery.
This whole thing becomes USA history.
