I couldn't watch; I plugged my ears.
(My husband turned it on.)
A sadness filled me up; I fear
My way of life is gone.
The new administration
Will not welcome folk like me
And in the next 4 years we can't
Predict how things will be.
I haven't felt this out of touch
Since protesting the war
(Viet Nam, while in college);
I was angry to the core.
But now that rage is tempered
By despondency and fear
For I never ever thought
That such a thing could happen here.
