WHY EACH VOTE COUNTED


The parents whose 12-year-old son was just laid to rest
From spraying bullets exploding in his young body’s chest

The father whose daughter was tortured and raped
By monsters initiating in a criminal gang
She will never see her fourteenth birthday

The shopkeeper, who after taxes is barely making his life’s wage
And totally depends on the paltry money his hard work can make

The mother of five beautiful children who went out
For a routine run on a beautiful sunny day, 
But will never return to their waiting arms;
All their lives shattered in a heinous and brutal way.

The military veteran who lost his legs, as he served us all in a made-up war
Now sleeps on the concrete in a filthy corner of San Francisco Bay

The innocent 2nd grader, a tiny blonde blue-eyed girl, 
Is left confused and unsure
When her trusted teacher says she’s a racist
Who has destroyed the world

The toddler sitting on his mother’s lap who looks on in dismay
As a mustached man, dressed as a woman in exaggerated makeup
Gyrates and sings vulgar songs just inches from his unprotected face

The girls soccer team whose teammate lost half of her face
Refuses to compete with transgender men whose genitals are now misplaced

The Texas rancher whose family must clean up behind
The millions of crossings in a continuous unending line
Of criminal invaders whose tons of trash and broken bodies are scattered
Among his unproductive fields and livestock in rotting tatters

The aching backs of hard-working taxpayers whose treasure
Has been looted and their protesting voices silenced;
For four years they had no say where their money goes.
It’s now enriching Iran, Ukraine and who else, nobody knows.

Nearly a half million young children lost their innocence, 
And many their lives, sold into slavery in factories
And as sexual slaves; Grievous Evil modeling the Chinese way

Nearly 80 million Americans, sick to death of insanity, evil and deceit
All rose together to fight the rancid leftist coastal elites.

Together extinguishing the rule of disloyal leaders, fascists, racists, 
Their eyes shining with hope that there can now be an end.
Each one’s voice and vote counted this time as they shouted,
 “President Donald J Trump will fix it and make America great again!”
