The ballots are cast,

The votes are all in.

The winner announced,

The reactions are grim.

How could this be?

What’s just occurred?

Most were convinced,

Her election assured.

But low and behold,

The upset complete.

We stand here in silence

In utter defeat.

Change is a coming,

Of that be assured.

An end to our progress,

Equality deterred.

Hatred unleashed,

“others” shudder in fear.

Darkness on the horizon,

Of this it is clear. 

 

I choose to stand,

With the “others” you see.

For tolerance and equal rights,

So that each man is free.
