A Coup D'état Against The American Democracy Poem by Hebert Logerie

The last American election was, of course, rigged.
The latest Electoral College process was tricked.
Real, true, and genuine democracy must be about:
One ballot one vote, one man/woman one vote.
The popular vote must carry more glitzy weight
Than anything else. Congress must absolutely demote
The present archaic system of choosing a President.
The current scheme sounds corrupt, and fraudulent.
A coup d'état took place that night. That was ludicrous.
The so-called Electoral College got to go; I am serious.
America can do better, America must be exemplary.
That was a crazy campaign, the worst ever with derogatory
And colorful verbiage from the winner of the yuckiest contest.
Hoping that the last election was jokingly a preliminary test.
No need to be cheerful or to be elated. What took place
Was despicable and distasteful. That was a modern disgrace.
