The Popular Vote

For the second time in memory,
We’re faced with the ironic
When we look at an election
More divisive than harmonic.

Though the states made their decisions
And Republicans can gloat,
Seems the Democrat, the loser,
Won the “popular” (ha!) vote.

Something’s wrong with such a picture.
If the population’s voice
Does unite in its selection
We should, thus, respect that choice.

So we end up with a president,
Unpopular at best,
Leaving more than half the country
Pessimistic and depressed.
