Counting votes.
A country’s choice.
Blinded by motes.
So hear their voice.

Denial of loss.
Count them some more.
You once were boss.
But see who they’re for.

If you won’t give up.
You must give in.
Drink from your cup.
Then atone for your sin.

Move on now.
Recounting won’t help.
Why cause a row?
We’ve heard your yelp.

Go home you.
To your Sunshine State.
They all turned blue.
Numbers say, it’s too late.
