As I awoke yesterday morning, I noticed the clouds were gray and the sun wasn’t piercing through my binds to send me a morning hey. Instead, it was dark and still; mute and gloomy. I suddenly knew; Trump was our new ruler and tears started forming. I sat and watched him proclaim his win and tell another lie about making sure everyone would be treated equal and fair under his policies to be. I immediately became sick, scared, tense, and frustrated. I yelled, “What the hell has America done, when will this nightmare end”. We have become divided and accepting of ignorance over actual ethic. As I thought about my life under the new rule; I began to worry about the kids who witnessed the brutal intensity of this not so peaceful political race.
What are they thinking? Do they accept the nation’s decision? Have we silenced them into believing this is how the world selects its leadership? Have they too been convinced that D. Trump is the best candidate to mend the division this election has caused? Have we silenced them to understand that this is systematic to how our country will fall?
Parents and teachers. Mentors and coaches have the hard task of drying the eyes of the youth and reassuring them that things would be ok. While falsely hoping that we maintain life the way it was prior to the elected beast. Rebuilding their confidence in the great US of A after American clearly got it wrong and named a man of hate the leader of this place. Small voices stated “Why did the bad man win” and “He is a bully he shouldn’t win”.
Did we forget that they too have witnessed this harsh reality and need to be reassured that things will be ok? We have introduced them into the political world; a world sometimes fair or down right unjust. These little beings have watched the debates, seen the ads, and heard all the name calling that never seemed to go away. We forgot they were listening and paying close attention to leadership; not understanding, but emotionally connecting to the person they thought should win. Many cried and some tantrum as the orange shaded man with the white hair won the election. Most didn’t understand how an angry and mean man could be the President and question their mock voting voice that went unheard. They just wanted to know how we as the example got this wrong. How did we choose a man that hated us all? We lead them into this world of political warfare and this could be the saving this country needs. I’m sure there is a little Hilary out there just waiting in the wings or a Barack Obama who would bring peace again this this country that bleeds. The babies were always watching and knew best who was fit for the leadership role, but somehow many others wanted Trump on the throne.
Kids still crying and scared to leave home; not knowing if their peers will hate them because they don’t all fit the genetic makeup of the America Dream that many thought made America great. We forgot they were watching.
What do I tell a child that believed bullies were bad people? What do we say when we scold children for calling people bad names? How do we explain this to children who watched a candidate shame Women, Blacks, Hispanics, Mexicans, Muslims, Special Needs, LBGTs, and anyone different who didn’t follow his plan? What is the answer? It is fair to say that now our children can behave as the leader does; mocking everything that isn’t normal in his/her world for the sake of popularity? Should we embrace this horrible disgrace and behave in such a way that brings shame to ourselves and this place. Well it seems to work. Maybe that’s the new way leadership is formed. It should be what’s good for the goose should be great for the gander. Right? I mean we have a future first lady who personally witnessed the bulling act of her husband, but wants an anti-cyber bullying program for the country. She wants us to buy into a program that should be piloted on her husband, but feels that our children need the support from someone who has never felt a want or a need. Chile please! The kids have more education and knowledge about bullying than your vocabulary seems to suggest about you Melania. Let’s sort through some other topics because this platform is something that you won’t win.
We forgot that little girls were watching and instead of having the first female leader in the White House; they will have to idolize a formal nude model as a strong sense of female power. Good job America.
Is it safe to say that our little girls should walk the walk of the first lady? She too is a role model for the country. We should encourage girls to be confident and voiceless as she has been. Oh no, I have one better. How about we encourage all kids that it’s ok to cheat and copy others works. It’s how winners and developed and great speeches are formed. Cheating is winning and should be encouraged in schools.
How did I forget the protection of our little girls from the hands of boys? Boys who now think its ok to fondle and grope someone because dear ole Donald said that it was cool and a practical joke. STOP! Do you understand the madness we have introduced them to? They will now have a leader who to them is totally uncool. This family isn’t America or what it should be. These kids will now have to face what happens 40 years back that divided you and me.
What have we done by electing this man? Do we understand that we have four years for him to ruin this place we call home again One man divided us to be a mean and a nasty nation, but us joining together with the children can end this all together. Stand tall my people for he wasn’t our pick, but we should have listened to the children who got it right and never wanted his rule to begin.
Mood: Sorry for the children of America.
