This poem was written on election night. While watching the actions of the mainstream media and social podcasters prediction not going their way and their reporting on not understanding or the inability to comprehend the ideals of the otherside wishes. My view of election night truly shows how this country is so easily divided by the projected illusions of fear and votes simply by the given unjust facts, led by bias hate rather than by ones commonsense! Just one Man's perspective!
Shock!
unreal, unshaken disbelief.
Choice!
the people spoke,
democracy breathes.
What was promised—
a mirage,
a lie.
False hopes built to divide,
now shattered,
leaving many wide-eyed,
denied,
unrecognized,
lost in the wreckage of the unexpected.

A reckoning.
A trauma.
A truth too sharp to ignore.
