I went off to bed the evening before

Hillary would win, of that I was sure.

I woke to horror, to complete disbelief

I found myself shaking just like a leaf.

How could this happen? How could it be?

That my America was stolen! My beloved country.

The values and principles so dear to our hearts

Had been stomped on and shredded with poisonous darts.

We yell at each other, we cry, and we scream

Will no one defend the American dream?
