lillian the home poet

I’m singin’ the blues.
Not that raspy haunting way,
more like zydeco!

This America
understood what was at stake.
Democracy won.

Black, Hispanic, Jew,
Christian, Muslim, women, men
gay, straight, everyone.

Americans chose
truth over fear, compassion,
and voted NO KINGS!

Much more than a rout,
Trump was emasculated.
His sycophants shocked.

Poe’s words speak to Trump,
Quoth the raven, never more!
Blue skies now shine bright.

November 3rd was election day in the US. The Democrats outperformed everyones’ expectations. The House and Senate both flipped . . . Democrats will hold a significant majority in both. In state and local governments, across the entire United States, folks voted out Republicans (President Trump’s base) and voted in Democrats up and down the ticket: from judges to senators to attorneys general to governors . . . you name it, Americans voted in Democrats and said no to Trump’s administration and policies. The “blue wave” we hoped for became a blue tsunami. From Texas to Georgia, to Michigan, Ohio, and Maine; across the entire country….it is a monumental shift. One, I believe, the world celebrates.
