Do despair because Clinton climbs!
Do secede because Trump triumphs,
Because the new meaning of democracy
Is a choice between political suicide
Or political families,
Because we threw off a monarchy
To catch monarchy in disguise
Behind a flimsy mask of lies!
That was the risk of democracy
With roots in the original Greek:
That we, too, might elect a tyrant.
This, too, shall (come to) pass.
