PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Before this election:

I truly believed most people are kind, loving and accepting

and the future of our country was bright. 

And that after the election I would take great pleasure

when I was proven to be right.

I believed kindness, love and acceptance

would find their way into the ballot box…

I believed that…in a majority of people in this country

these feelings were quite strong.

But after this election…

it grieves me to know that I was proven wrong.

I believe this country is heading in the wrong direction…

In my heart this feeling is quite strong….

And, yes, I know the majority of people in this country

believe that I am wrong.

But I believe for a country 

without love, kindness and acceptance in it’s heart

the future is anything but bright….

and I will take no pleasure 

if I am proven to be right.
