Let the nightmare begin.

The enemy is within.

You chose discrimination and hate

Now this man will shape your fate.

Lapping up money and power

While your lives turn sour.

A leader who only cares

About the wealth of billionaires

We will have an oligarchy

A theocracy

But certainly not a democracy.

A quid pro quo

While his people are dealt blow after blow.

For he only grants favor

For those who cater

To all of his whims

Our future is grim.

What rights will we lose?

Definitely the right to choose.

Surely democracy will prevail

Lest we fight, to no avail.

Other nations are watching

Perhaps even mocking

The poor decisions we made.

Our supposed greatness will fade.
