Mentally Clobbered After The Elections

I felt psychologically battered and clobbered after the elections Countless friends have experienced similar dreadful emotions Voters were unhappy that their candidates were in dire situations In the end, we had to pinch ourselves to fight the unusual depression. Partisanship is packed with dangerous biases that ignore the reasons We fight without thinking and the cops respond like it is open season Sometimes, common sense goes away on long and distant vacations That is when all hell breaks loose; ‘tis another election's occasion. We must learn to advance to a more reconcilable and peaceful direction Life is at times drowned in a salty sea of surprises and teachable moments Regardless of the winners and losers, we must stand like gentle giants We must be resilient and strong to suppress all assortments of emotions. Unity and justice! Love and peace! Copyright © November, Hébert Logerie, All rights reserved Hébert Logerie is the author of several collections of poetry.
