1414C WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

What just happened?
The people spoke their minds
But what did they say?
That more Trump supporters came out of the closet to
Trump Hillary than insight into common sense can readily
Comprehend unless we remember that 'we, the people' have
Felt so fed up with big government and big business, for so long, as to
Have seen, by this point in time, many of us casting votes with
Minds, so addled with anger as to see only—red
Or perhaps we, the people, have cast our votes for one whose
Ego controls his brain, because we, too, long to say whatever
Pops out of our mouths without paying consequences, as in:
'Loser eat my dust, winner take all'?

The final tally of votes makes me wonder if
During the aftermath of this painful election
Our nation will experience the back lash of whiplash, coast to coast ...
Or am I (who prides herself for coming up with original plans of action)
Still thinking inside the box, whereas Trump, whose voice knows
No boundaries, has developed no box to get his brain out of, at all?

Looks like we, the people, will have to wait for answers to questions
Arising from the unexpected outcome of our presidential election till
Time (which does not stand still or heal all wounds) marches toward
Hindsight, where, hopefully, common sense, awaiting our late arrival
Will highlight insights so soothing to my limbic reaction as to stop
My head from spinning, thus offering my think tank reason to grow
Ever more attentive to need to consult my mirror, in search of
Answers this next pair of questions:
Have I been blind during the entirety of this presidential campaign or
Is my think tank reeling with disbelief in the same way that proved true of
Socrates while he'd implored his peers to know themselves?
And along those lines, this must be how Jesus felt when he said—
Forgive them for they know not what they do?
Blind or not, my think tank has stalled at this crossroads where
Millions of voters delivered us into the hands of The Donald, where
My voice, having no clue as to what to expect of these next four years
Has been rendered utterly speechless, other than to repeat:
What just happened?  I feel dizzy.
Stop the world, I want to get off!
