Undercurrent

Feel like I owe apologies
To Bush and McCain
Didn't agree with their policies
But didn't feel this pain

This current one is unbearable
Can barely say his name
Takes accountability for nothing
His skills, to lie and blame

Voters heads in the sand
Ignoring all that was known
Shocking election day results
Even after the ugly he'd shown

Disappointed with fellow citizens
Speechless and emotionally defeating
He came like a wrecking ball
Hurting many, after cheating

Was lost for a while
Hiding out in a personal cave
Finally feeling empowered
By a democratic Blue Wave
