moderation

Aghast at the atrocities,

but did you vote for her?

Or post that she wasn't progressive enough?

Or say nothing?

In a way, I said nothing.

Thought it seemed obvious that moderation beats autocracy.

Are you smirking that he won?

That people have lost their jobs?

Are being shipped away?

Putting myself in Earth's shoes,

I think she's been bummed long before now.

Decades of hot flash. Little reprieve.

Moderation trumps suffering.
