Exit polling in Virginia gave the why’s behind the votes
Many voters cast their ballots simply to say no to Trump
Sizeable among those voters was a group I’d like to note
Who were basically embarrassed: Trump in office and the stump
Gross his language, gross behavior, labels used to vilify
Sullying the image of United States abroad
Their children must not emulate this President, his lies
He’s not the good example, one that they’d feel free to laud
The polls revealed another group, the diehard Trump supporters
Who revel in Trump’s language, he says things the way they think
Only, they had been inhibited lest their words become reported
But now veneer has vanished; they speak freely words that stink
Labels are identifiers not pejoratives
Used to injure or demean demeans one’s sanity
Thus weaponized they undercut debate’s alternatives
And smother our democracy with gross inanities
I do applaud those voters who by Trump’s words were repelled
It matters not which Party, gross behavior is condemned
The answer is the ballot box and may the numbers swell
To oust the Trump regime and to this grossness put an end
