THE MORNING AFTER

The world was stunned 

By the sound that echoed 

Across the globe 

Shock and awe was the news 

That knocked on many doors 

The unexpected became reality  

An imposter some claimed 

Stole the presidency 

Stock market bowed its knees in fear 

Some began to seek asylum elsewhere 

Angry mobs took to the streets 

Hoping their actions can enhance democracy 

The hearts of many countries 

Shivers with fear 

While citizens of the republic 

Gasps for air 

But He who sits high

From eternity knew

That this day would come 

Leaving many wondering 

What in the world are we going to do.
