Epigrams On The Election, November, 2014
1.
The moneyed class is thrilled by this election:
The workers and poor suffer in this rejection.
The next two years' bleakness begins tomorrow---
frustration, disappoinment, fear, and sorrow.
2.
Changed is our once splendid demoncracy
tp an exclusive, moneyed oligarchy,
an insult to the founders' history,
a selfish party sipping purloined tea,
its purposes covert, twisted, and snarky.
3.
During the next two years
we should let our fears,
bring panic; nor weep bitter tears
for an imagined "might have been."
Instead, relentlessly make preparation
(with civil rage and courteous indignation)
to turn our country's course about
and toss their tight-clutched hoard
of stale tea overboard,
and turn those rank imposters out.
