I awake
in the middle
of the night.
I cannot sleep;
something's not quite right.
I try to sleep,
but wheels spin
and words begin
to spill out again.
And so I rise,
it's 2:03
I take a pee
and make some tea.
The TV's on
I fell asleep.
I sigh
and take a wary peek:
Donald Trump
has won the race
I hear them bray,
tho how he won
they will not say.
How much did he win by?
Oh , he lost by 2 million
but that's not the system,
which is really reptilian.
We often call the loser
the winner...it's a tradition
going back to the slave days
when people were property
and democracy was sedition.
Then why do we honor
a tool of the masters?
Wasn't slavery a total disaster?
Well, yes, that is true
and yes, we are screwed
but it's all very legal
tho hardly legit
but that's how we roll.
That's how we slit
the throat of the People,
and that's how we troll.
How can there be consent
when elections are overturned;
isn't that a coup?
with Democracy burned
to the ground
when the Loser is crowned?
Ah, dreamer, you dream.
It's not worth a scream.
We're screwed and you know it
and so it's legit
if you don't overthrow it,
and that's not allowed
by the ruling crowd.
It's now 2:08.
The anchors are saying
there's no use in praying
or raising your voice:
the loser has won
by Electoral choice.
Who are these people
who reverse the vote?
Isn't that rather cutthroat?

Who are these sheep
saying Trump was elected?
When the vote total says
he was roundly rejected?
Who are these pundits
who claim Trump has won?
You don't need a gun,
to reverse the election.
You just need to hear
that there's been a correction.
And what could go wrong,
when Bush took out Gore, by
losing the vote? He took us straight, or crooked,
to war.
What could go wrong when the loser prevails?
Who can complain when democracy fails?
Blame the People, burn the steeple, curse
the sheeple. It's their fault they lost
by winning, I mean. We're deep
in the rabbit hole, where dwell
the sheep...........
where 2 plus 2 is 9
and voting's a crime
repaired by a group
out of the loop
and if you complain
you are to blame
for winning a race that goes
to the loser.
Tyrants rule without consent.
Thus our will is totally bent
in the opposite direction of our
actual election,
on the theory that the people's
vote requires correction.
This is the view
of the largest slave owners,
who gave us a system controlled
by rich donors
and a College that meets
to reverse the vote.
If you must, take a note.
And the losers gloat:
We won, we won, so
Go f*ck yourself,
you and your vote!
It's 3: 01.
I really can't sleep.
Trump must be tweeting
trashing the press,
which could hardly do less
than tell us he won,
tho the facts say he didn't
if you read the fine print.
Now what?
You ask.
Lipstick on a pig?
Unrig the rig?
Stand up and fight?
Cower in fright?
Bite the bullet?
Stay out of sight?
What can we do
if we don't say NO MORE!?
We can't do sh*t
if we don't even the score.
Doggerel's useless
in the middle of the night
but this is all I've got,
to assert the right
to overthrow a Tyrant
and end the blight.
Leave a comment
if you think I'm right.
United we stand;
divided we bite.
