I trusted some more than others and I liked some better than others but I never once thought any president of mine would work against my country and for himself. NEVER ONCE.Rolling forward every day i will be appreciative/greateful for my president. I will pay attention all the time and not live in a bubble of my own making. I will give credit where credit is due and I will criticize where criticism is justified. Voting for a person to lead your country is not the end of responsibility. It's really just the beginnin of a citizen's duty/obligation to his/her country. I have seen the light. I am made whole. less

Madding means FRENZIED.We have a madding crowd out there of sizable proportion. Will the frenzied grow in numbers or will they dwindle diminish die out figuratively? Wait and see. What other option is there?The poem is "Elegy written in a country churchyard" which I have mentioned before. My favorite line?"Full many a flower is born to blush unseen and waste its sweetness on the desert air"That is not applicable to the person who lost the election or any of his supporters. They were never unseen or unheard. There are in excess of 70 MILLION of them.What they do next is anyone's guess. Madding still and forevermore? Perhaps. less
