The lyrics begin:
"Will I lose my dignity?
Will someone care?
Will I wake tomorrow

I keep feeling that every day since this nightmare that some people call a presidential election.
I keep hoping it will get better. I keep thinking it will get better. It does get better in spurts. And then I remember again:
DONALD TRUMP is going to be our president.
This is a man who said he would, well you know to women. Of women. And, yet, some women voted for him.
I have spent hours trying to figure out who these women are, trying to understand them, but still: I got nothing.
I mean I have a little something, but REALLY? America: really?
You chose him or her. THAT over this?
In my grief, a Linda Ronstadt song comes to mind.
I'm going to try to keep going: In the name of justice and peace and all that is right and good.
As Harriet Tubman said and then Hillary Clinton: "Keep going."
We will rise up and fight, fight, fight:
