THE AMERICAN ELECTION 2016
A week before the American election, I composed a poem each dedicated to Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, bearing in mind that one of them would become the next President of America. Now that the election is over, I hereby post the two poems on my blog for the reading pleasure of readers of this blog:
Poem 1 is for Hillary
HALLELUIAH HILLARY CLINTON
Trampling Trump to Capitol Hill
Twinkling Clinton climbed the Hill
Hillary’s little heels made history
First American Female President
After over 200 years of democracy
Almighty America’s story of the century
Moving from First Lady to First Supremo
Halleluiah Hail Hillary!
To grasp the majestic zenith of America
Is distinct from guzzling vodka in Russia
It’s only a woman of a certain ancestry
Can swim shark-infested ocean with
bravery
To sit on a queenly throne in oval sanctuary
Halleluiah Hail Hillary!
As billion global villagers’ eyeballs
glued
To million digital television screens
globally
Viewing verbal bullets spewing out of red trunk
Striking shatterproof delicate blue butterfly
wings
It’s only a lion-hearted woman can stick
to her vision
And with wisdom navigate a wrecking titanic
to triumph
Halleluiah Hail Hillary!
At long last, partisan skirmishes ‘re
over and all over
Trumpestuous America must relax for the world to
relax
Hillarious America must initiate a healing process en
paix
As apprehensive global villagers take
deep breaths with love
Freshly historic President Hillary Clinton
of America
Captain a global vessel, sail a fresh America
with maternal love!
A Poem supposed to be dedicated
to Hillary Clinton, if she had won the election.

Poem 2 for Donald
TRIUMPHANT TRUMP OF AMERICA
Blow the trumpets for Trump
For, Donald Trump has triumphed
By trampling upon Hillary Clinton
To plug the presidency of America
Wonders indeed will never cease to be
As the discerning citizens of Britain
Shocked the world to extract Britain
From the belly of European Union
So judicious voters of America
Have elected triumphant Trump
To supervise over their destiny
Their rights must be cherished
Other citizens of the world
Also reserve the rights
To discard their indigo cards
America still will be America
When it coughs the world ‘ll…
Triumphant President Trump
As you sit on the hot royal stool
In the white shrine of America
Tamper justice with temper
As President of America
Hearken your master within
And be father for all as pledged!
A Poem dedicated to Donald
Trump 45th President-elect of America

NB: It seems to me that after over 200 years of democracy, the people of America are not yet ready for a woman President, so they did not elect Hillary Clinton as President.
