Mistakes and Recovery

It’s really, really bad

It’s too bad

We made a mistake

A big mistake

 

Something went wrong

Very wrong

3 years ago

 

We were complacent

Asleep

Lazy

Absent

Didn’t think it could happen

 

Didn’t think he

Could be elected

A liar

A narcissist

A fraud

Big talker

Fake Christian

A showman

A trickster

A con man

Charlatan

 

Only favors the rich

Insults his opponents

Protects his cronies

Forgets the poor

Antagonizes allies

Denies our shores to the threatened

Undermines our press

Cares only for himself

 

A barker at a carnival

Turning our nation

Into a carnival

 

While we were asleep

This is what happened

 

So, it’s on us

We can’t blame others

We failed at the voting booth

 

There were enough of us

To change the outcome

To prevent this disaster

But we didn’t show

 

What’s done is done

No sense crying in our milk

No time for excuses

 

It’s time to recover

 

It’s not all lost

Tougher challenges to this young nation

Have been conquered

Along our way

 

But the time is near

We get another chance

We must choose

There are only two choices

 

One way is domination

Deceit

Subordination

Lies

Prejudice

Economic havoc

 

The other

Honesty

Truth

Freedom of speech and press

Hope

Compassion

And collective good

 

One thing for sure

If you lean Right

And you had unfounded hope

For a better leader

A better time

 

Those hopes have certainly been dashed

 

See you at the voting booth!
